If you're trying to load a translucent png-24 image but are finding an absence of transparency (like it's black), you need to enable alpha channel AND save the setting. I'm new to GD and it took me almost two hours to figure this out.
<?php
$imgPng = imageCreateFromPng($strImagePath);
imageAlphaBlending($imgPng, true);
imageSaveAlpha($imgPng, true);
/* Output image to browser */
header("Content-type: image/png");
imagePng($imgPng);
?>
imagecreatefrompng
(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)
imagecreatefrompng — Erzeugt ein neues Bild aus einer Datei oder URL
Beschreibung
imagecreatefrompng() gibt einen Bezeichner für das Bild zurück, das aus der angegebenen Datei eingelesen wurde.
Tipp
Wenn fopen wrappers aktiviert ist, kann mit dieser Funktion eine URL als Dateiname verwendet werden. Mehr Details dazu, wie der Dateiname angeben werden muss, sind bei fopen() zu finden. Eine Liste der unterstützten URL-Protokolle, die Fähigkeiten der verschiedenen Wrapper, Hinweise zu deren Verwendung und Informationen zu den eventuell vorhandenen vordefinierten Variablen sind unter Unterstützte Protokolle und Wrapper zu finden.
Parameter-Liste
-
filename -
Pfad des PNG-Bilds.
Rückgabewerte
Gibt im Erfolgsfall eine Bildobjekt zurück, im Fehlerfall false.
Changelog
| Version | Beschreibung |
|---|---|
| 8.0.0 | Bei Erfolg gibt diese Funktion jetzt eine GDImage-Instanz zurück; zuvor wurde eine Ressource zurückgegeben. |
Beispiele

<?php
function LoadPNG($imgname)
{
/* Versuche zu öffnen */
$im = @imagecreatefrompng($imgname);
/* Prüfe, ob das fehlschlug */
if(!$im)
{
/* Erzeuge ein schwarzes Bild */
$im = imagecreatetruecolor(150, 30);
$bgc = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 255, 255);
$tc = imagecolorallocate($im, 0, 0, 0);
imagefilledrectangle($im, 0, 0, 150, 30, $bgc);
/* Gib eine Fehlermeldung aus */
imagestring($im, 1, 5, 5, 'Fehler beim Laden von ' . $imgname, $tc);
}
return $im;
}
header('Content-Type: image/png');
$img = LoadPNG('bogus.image');
imagepng($img);

I had the same problem as jboyd1189 at yahoo dot com but I solve d it allocating more memory dynamically.
Usually the memory_limit var on php.ini is set to 8M. Unfortunately, the required amount of memory to manage a PNG image about 1000x1000 could be bigger !
The approach I used to solve the problem is:
1-Calculate the memory required by the image
2-Set the new memory_limit value
3-Create the PNG image and thumbnail
4-Restore the original value
1-The following value works for me:
$required_memory = Round($width * $height * $size['bits']);
Note that for JPEG the requirements are not the same:
http://es2.php.net/manual/en/function.imagecreatefromjpeg.php#60241
2-Use somthing like:
$new_limit=memory_get_usage() + $required_memory;
ini_set("memory_limit", $new_limit);
4-ini_restore ("memory_limit");

Because gd and imagick do not support animated PNG (at this moment), i wrote a simple function to determine if given PNG is APNG or not. It does not validate PNG, only checks whenever "acTL" chunk appears before "IDAT" like the specification says: https://wiki.mozilla.org/APNG_Specification
<?php
function is_apng(string $filename): bool
{
$f = new \SplFileObject($filename, 'rb');
$header = $f->fread(8);
if ($header !== "\x89PNG\r\n\x1A\n") {
return false;
}
while (!$f->eof()) {
$bytes = $f->fread(4);
if (strlen($bytes) < 4) {
return false;
}
$length = unpack('N', $bytes)[1];
$chunkname = $f->fread(4);
switch ($chunkname) {
case 'acTL':
return true;
case 'IDAT':
return false;
}
$f->fseek($length + 4, SEEK_CUR);
}
return false;
}
?>

When using imagecreatepng with alpha blending you will lose the blending.
To over come this use something like the following
<?php
$dstimage=imagecreatetruecolor($width,$height);
$srcimage=imagecreatefrompng($src);
imagecopyresampled($dstimage,$srcimage,0,0,0,0, $width,$height,$width,$height);
?>
Where $width and $height are the width and height of the $src image.
This will create a true colour image then copy the png image to this true colour image and retain alpha blending.

The image size (width x height) should not exceed INT_MAX ... It's still thrue on a 64 bits computer.

I have this code:
if (exif_imagetype($this->img_name) == IMAGETYPE_PNG) {
try {
$this->image = imagecreatefrompng($this->img_name);
Error::log('It is a png: '.$this->img_name);
} catch (Exception $e) {
echo "The image file has some strange charachters. Probably not a png image?";
$this->image = '';
$this->img_name = '';
}
}
And I get this error in the error.log:
PHP Unknown error: imagecreatefrompng(): gd-png: fatal libpng error: Extra compressed data\n in Unknown on line 0
The file that I try to open is a generated .png image which I can open from gimp and Geeqie.
What is the problem? Could you please help me?

I was having a terrible time with the imagecreatefrompng function as it was working perfectly for one image and not at all for another. After many hours of frustration, I discovered that the problem was the image size (number of pixels). It appears that the maximum number of pixels this function will process is 1,040,000. So, be sure that the pixel resolution of the image (eg. 1040 x 1000) does not exceed this value.
