As part of the caching mechanism in my app, I need to be able to associate data with image files (PNG in this case). Right now I am storing it in separate plist files, but soon I will have many more files to manage, and it could become a little bit unwieldy. Is there a way to embed data (basically a couple of strings) directly in the image file?

Sure, that's a standard part of the PNG file format specification.

You can define your own extension chunks and store whatever you like in them.
