PNG Abbrev. for portable network graphics. A file format for compressed bitmapped images, designed by an Internet committee and increasingly used for Internet images. It is likely that PNG images will eventually replace the widely used GIF format. The PNG format is patent-free and hence does not have the legal problems sometimes associated with the GIF format, which was developed by Compuserve.
