What is PNGimg?
PNGimg is a free catalog of more than 116,000 PNG images with transparent backgrounds, sorted into categories like animals, nature, food, objects and people, and also browsable by letter. You can download images without registering. Everything is shared under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 license, so you need to credit the source and keep use non-commercial.
The site also has free image tools that run in your browser, including a resizer, a compressor, PNG and WebP converters, a favicon generator and print size calculators, and your files are not uploaded. Some images show third-party brands, characters or real people, and the team says some were found online, so check who owns the rights before any commercial use.
