PNG stores images without any quality loss and supports full alpha transparency, which makes it the default choice for screenshots, logos, icons and any graphic with sharp edges. Every PNG opens with an eight-byte signature that includes a newline pair so the file is corrupted visibly if it passes through a text-mode transfer.
