You may have corrupt PNG file. Therefore to fix the error follow the steps below.

• Open corrupted PNG file with "Microsoft Picture Manager"
• "Micro soft Picture Manager" is a basic image editor.
• Click on the file and then "Export"
• From "Export with this file format list" select "TIFF" file format.
• Now the image will be ready for any image editor.

There is another way to solve the issue.

• If you have more than one layers then merge the layers.
• Now click on File > Export > PNG Optimizer 
• Choose the transparency type you want.
• Save the image.
