It is rightly one of the most popular formats for photos, images and graphics on the web: The PNG file format (Portable Network Graphics) impresses with its excellent image compression and maintains the balance between file size and image quality. PNG files also store transparency in images. Areas of an image can be made transparent without having to be replaced with white pixels, such as in JPG format.

What is the most efficient way to manage PNGs?
In most cases, PC users rely on the integrated image management functions of Windows and Mac. Despite their popularity, these tools require manual work to create and maintain folder structures and file naming standards. This is not the most efficient solution, especially if image management needs to be set up for several people or even an entire company. Bid here cloud storage solutions a practical alternative. Central access enables sharing and collaboration with other users, and the storage capacity can usually be flexibly scaled.
Enterprise Search Software itself does not provide a storage solution for PNGs, but it does provide improved file searching and makes it easier to find files based on various criteria. We explain the specific differences between image management software and company-internal search engines – and how they complement each other further down.
What is the purpose of alt tags in PNGs?
Alt tags on PNGs are used to provide search engines with relevant information about the content of the image. This improves image SEO and makes images easier to find in search results. This allows images to appear better in search results and increases website visibility. The Alt attribute is crucial for proper image naming, in both Windows and WordPress, to maximize SEO optimization for Google Images.
Can I also perform a reverse image search on my own PNGs?
Reverse image search, or in German, reverse image search, refers to searching using the example of an image in a search engine, such as Google Images. The search engine then searches the internet for similar images and returns results based on visual similarities. This is particularly useful for copyright checks or image research.
Reverse image search is not integrated by default in Windows Explorer. If users are looking for a PNG that displays specific text or content, an enterprise search solution such as searchit, help out. Functionalities such as optical character recognition and AI-powered object recognition allow users to search for what they want to see in the image instead of having to remember metadata or cumbersome file names.
