Understanding PNG and HUS file formats

PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is a raster graphics file format that supports lossless data compression. It is widely used for web images due to its ability to handle transparency and provide high-quality images. HUS is a file format used for embroidery designs, specifically for Husqvarna Viking sewing machines. It contains stitch data and instructions for creating embroidery patterns.
