Hello,

To my understanding, PNGs do not scale their size well, especially when compared to SVGs which scale very well with resolution changes. So to provide an adequate user experience, we must provide varying dpi settings of images so that at each dpi, we can ensure that the user sees a crisp and accurate image.
