What is a PNG?
PNG is an image format similar to the GIF format. Unlike the latter, the PNG is a lossless photo compression format designed for the Internet. This property has allowed the PNG to establish itself and become very popular among users. In addition, even after editing images, PNG files quality do not degrade — a plus for people sharing images on social networks.
Why do PNG files become lost?
Unfortunately, PNG images can disappear from sight. And these are precious moments of your life that you wanted to keep for many years. How could you not be upset?
Here are the main causes of lost PNG images; knowing them may help you in the future to avoid such situations.
- Accidental deletion of PNG files.
- Formatting the disk on which PNG file was located. This can happen by accident or as a necessary measure if the data storage device is damaged.
- Virus attack or file corruption by malware via online advertising.
- Removing a memory card in an unsafe way, or removing it while transferring data.
- Mechanical damage to the device with the PNG image file. Unfortunately, in this case, it is impossible to recover the lost PNG image by yourself; if you are lucky, the repair of the device will correct the situation.
As you can see, loss of PNG files is easy to identify and avoid; you just need to be more careful and attentive with your data.
The best advice for PNG recovery
