What is a PNG file?
PNG stands for Portable Network Graphics. It’s a popular raster image format developed as an open alternative to GIF. Released in 1996, PNG supports lossless compression, which means the image quality is preserved when the file is saved.
PNG is ideal for graphics that need transparency, sharp edges, or repeated editing — such as logos, icons, and screenshots. Unlike JPG, it retains full detail but usually results in larger file sizes.
How to open PNG files
PNG files are supported by nearly all operating systems and applications. You can open them using default image viewers on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS.
Web browsers, design software like Adobe Photoshop, and online tools such as AnyConv also handle PNG files without issues.

What is a XZ file?
XZ is a compression format that uses the LZMA2 algorithm. It’s known for high compression ratios and is used primarily in Unix-like systems for distributing software packages and archives.
Unlike ZIP or GZ, XZ is focused purely on compressing single files. It's often paired with TAR to create compressed archives with the .tar.xz extension.
How to open XZ files
XZ files can be opened using 7-Zip, PeaZip, and command-line tools on Linux like xz and tar. They are often used to distribute compressed source code.
Use AnyConv to convert XZ archives to a more universal format or to extract files online.
