Template:Should be PNG

This image was uploaded in a format such as GIF or JPEG. It could be stored, however, in the PNG format which supports lossless compression and transparency. Because the PNG format supports lossless compression, edits made to PNG files do not reduce their quality. If possible, please upload a PNG version of this image. After doing so, please replace all instances of the previous version throughout Wikipedia (noted under the "File links" header), tag the old version with {{PNG version available|NewImage.png}}, and remove this tag. For more information, see Wikipedia:Preparing images for upload.

Notes

• This template automatically adds images to Category:Images which should be in PNG format.
• This template should not be used for
  • images for which only a JPEG source is available; recompressing with PNG will not remove artifacts and will produce larger files
  • animated images. PNG does not support animation so GIF should be used instead
  • images which contain strictly vector (non-raster) data. SVG should be used in this case.
