GIF has a limitation of 255 (or 256?) colours, and only supports one colour transparency. PNG supports up to 48bit colour with a full alpha channel for transparency.

png for life

I use PNG for transparent images(duh), and give for images that don't need to be transparent - it's common sense.

Only problem is he wasn't animation which requires gif .

.mng image format?

If only it was better supported. Animation of GIF, quality of PNG...

IMO MNG/APNG have horrible compression. If people want web animated formats, they should really use video compression technologies for them, not just serve a bunch of still frames >_>.

Still, I'd prefer it over GIFs. Having more than 256 colors is nice when you're using a monitor that supports more than 256 colors.

I suppose you could use some JS trickery to display different png images in the same element very quickly to make a pseudo animated png.
