The difference between PNG and JPEG

So you're creating a document, slide show, or poster via Google Drawing. It's time to add some images. Using the built in search tool within the Google app, you set out to find that image of the cute little puppy you found earlier.

However, when you add that cute puppy image, you notice it's got this white background that sticks out like a sore thumb against your purple and gold background. It doesn't look right.

What can you do?

Within the Google omnibox, after you identify the picture you want ("cute puppy clipart", add the file extension PNG to the end. The PNG, (Portable Network Graphics) results should change slightly, only showing you the images that have been saved as PNG. When you choose one of these images, it should blend well with your background.

For a more detailed look at the differences between .JPEG, .PNG or .GIF, take a look at this website.

Happy PNG'ing!
