Visual aids, such as images, have become an essential tool for creating, engaging and effective online courses. Transparent PNG images have become increasingly popular among various image file formats due to their support, high-resolution graphics, and the ability to remove the background or make it transparent.
In this lesson, we’ll be learning all about transparent PNG images for online course teachers so that you can have images with transparency. You can layer them and do all sorts of great things. We will also go over transparent PNG images for online course teachers so that you can use transparency in all your different assets.
Challenges online teachers can encounter if they don’t use PNG files:
• The image’s background may appear solid and rectangular
• Icons can’t contain holes through the graphics without transparent graphics
• Vector objects may not be supported well on all apps and browsers
• The graphics may have to be updated if you change the content or background
• May have to utilize animated pixelated formats like GIFs or newer WEBP formats
Here are a few tips for using PNG files in your online course:
• Use PNG images when you need transparency
• Use PNG images when you want the most popular browser support
• If you don’t require transparency, go for a high compressing jpeg file
• Make sure to include an accurate image description in the alt text
• Make sure to use descriptive file names when naming your PNG files
• When you need many sizes of images without pixelation use multiple PNGs or one SVG vector file
• Teachers can use PNGs everywhere – course theme, community, website, resources, decks, templates, emails
