Hello,​

Welcome to our Microsoft Q&A platform!

error : failed to read PNG signature: file does not start with PNG signature.

The problem might be because of the wrong extension of images. For example, the image file is a JPEG image, but is saved as a PNG instead of being converted to. In this situation, change the extension to the real one and convert it to PNG then retry.

Best Regards,
