    A sprite is a bitmap graphic (raster family: a bunch of pixels where each pixel can get a different color).
    A sprite can be of different types: bmp / … /jpg / and also png. So the png file can be a sprite inside a game. You can make a sprite of your character that is a png file

What is the different between a simple PNG image and a sprite?

Sprite is a bitmap graphic that is part of a larger scene and can be in a variety of file formats (which include PNG). PNG format is lossless, unlike other potential sprite file formats. A PNG can not be directly animated (unlike a Sprite) but can be combined with other PNG files into an APNG and become animated.

A sprite is a bitmap image designed to be part of a larger scene.
They can be integrated into the scene/screen using CSS.
When a large number of sprites are combined in a single image they can be downloaded and cached with a single server request. You can add custom graphics unsupported by the OS’s API using sprites. Yes they can be animated.

.png files are raster images.
I’m still not completely clear on that,
but they are subject to distortion when resizing.
