.X-PNG is Portable (Public) Network Graphic bitmap format

File extension x-png is associated with Portable Network Graphics file format, a bit-mapped graphics format similar to GIF. Approved as a standard by the WWW consortium to replace gif because gif uses a patented data compression algorithm called LZW. In contrast, PNG is completely patent- and license-free. Only the previous versions of Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer supported PNG file format. Today's all commonly used browsers can display PNG file format correctly.
