A PNG isn't a diagram file, it's a PNG. "Export" means convert to another format. You wanted to "save".

Actually i created a wireframe and exported to png. then when i wanted to open thaat png again in draw.io it always giving me error. earlier draw.io doesnot used to give error. but from last month i am getting this error.

You have to embed the diagram XML in the PNG to re-open it. Without the embedded PNG, you cannot reopen it.

Embedding the XML is a tickbox in the dialog when you export. If you're not sure, just save it.

It's not an error. You have to "save", not "export", this is standard is every tool.
