PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is an extensible file format for the
-lossless, portable, well-compressed storage of raster images. PNG
-provides a patent-free replacement for GIF, and can also replace many
+lossless, portable, well-compressed storage of raster images. PNG provides

-PNG is designed to work well in online viewing applications, such
-as the World Wide Web, so it is fully streamable with a progressive
-display option. PNG is robust, providing both full file integrity
-checking and fast, simple detection of common transmission errors.
-Also, PNG can store gamma and chromaticity data for improved color
-matching on heterogeneous platforms.
