The PNG graphics file format is a commonly used format for storing 2D images which can be highly compressed by the use a palette if the image has a sufficiently low number of colors (256 colors in general). The PNG file is then further compressed using the DEFLATE compression algorithm to ensure small file sizes that are fast to download.
PNG files are seen as the logical successor to the GIF image file format and was devised in the mid-1990's as a superior format to GIF. PNG files are generally used for company logos, icons and other non-photographic image content. Saving a digital photo in the PNG format will create a much larger file than an equivalent JPG image hence the PNG format being unsuitable for most digital photo content.

The FAX file format introduced in the 1990's is a raster image file format intended to store digital versions of documents used by Fax (facsimile) machines that were popular at the time.
Although Fax machines have been slowly replaced since then by internet based communications such as Email and Instant Messaging the FAX file format is still used for certain applications and the files can be edited within some 3rd party applications.
