Pros
- PNG is an open standard (GIF is not)
- Efficient lossless compression (better than GIF)
- Single image size comparison (0.98K PNG vs. 1.19K GIF)
- MNG format support is coming (built it animation support)
- Supports palette based and non-palette based color schemes
- Animation files kept separate (easier to access for modifications)
- Animation characteristics can be changed at the source code level
Cons
- Transparency not supported in some browsers
- Animation files kept separate (more files to handle and transport)
