Yes, you can open PNG files in Photoshop. In fact, PNG is one of the supported file formats in Photoshop.
You can open a PNG file in Photoshop by going to File > Open and then selecting the PNG file that you want to open. Once the file is open in Photoshop, you can edit it just like any other image file.
PNG is a popular file format for images on the web. If you have ever downloaded an image from a website, chances are that it was in the PNG format. PNG is short for Portable Network Graphics.
The PNG format was created in 1995 as a way to provide lossless compression for images on the web. Lossless compression means that when an image is compressed in the PNG format, there is no loss of quality. This is in contrast to formats like JPEG, which use lossy compression, meaning that some quality is lost when an image is compressed in that format.
PNG files are often used because they provide a good balance between file size and quality. They are also supported by all major web browsers. So, if you have an image on your website that you want to be able to view in all browsers, then using the PNG format is a good option.
In addition to being able to open PNG files in Photoshop, you can also save images as PNG files from Photoshop. To do this, go to File > Save As and then select PNG from the list of file formats.
When you save an image as a PNG file, you will be given the option to choose how much compression to use. The more compression you use, the smaller the file size will be, but the lower the quality of the image will be as well.
