For those of you who simply wish to buy a commercial application or download a zipfile full of executables and start looking at or making pictures, the pages below have pointers to a large number of applications that are known to support PNG in one form or other, or that are going to support PNG in the near future. Some of the programs (particularly those for Unix) are provided as source code and may require libpng and/or zlib (see PNG Source Code and Libraries), but often even these have pre-built binaries for popular systems somewhere nearby.

PNG graphics were designed specifically for use on Web pages, and they offer a range of attractive features that
