How To Reduce A Png File Size

Smart WebP, PNG and JPEG compression

More than 1 billion WebP, PNG and JPEG images optimized and nonetheless counting!

What does TinyPNG do?

TinyPNG uses smart lossy compression techniques to reduce the file size of your WEBP, JPEG and PNG files. By selectively decreasing the number of colors in the prototype, fewer bytes are required to store the information. The effect is nearly invisible simply it makes a very large divergence in file size!

Why should I use TinyPNG?

PNG is useful because it's the but widely supported format that can store partially transparent images. The format uses compression, but the files tin still exist large. Utilise TinyPNG to compress images for your apps and sites. Information technology volition apply less bandwidth and load faster.

Tin can anyone tell the deviation?

First-class question! Let me give you a side by side comparison. Below are two photos of my cousin. The left image is saved as 24-fleck PNG directly from Adobe Photoshop. On the right is the aforementioned epitome processed past TinyPNG. Spot any difference?

How does information technology work?

Excellent question! When y'all upload a PNG (Portable Network Graphics) file, similar colors in your paradigm are combined. This technique is called "quantization". By reducing the number of colors, 24-bit PNG files tin can be converted to much smaller eight-bit indexed color images. All unnecessary metadata is stripped also. The result better PNG files with 100% support for transparency. Take your cake and swallow it too!

In the to a higher place image the file size is reduced past more than lxx%. I have excellent eyesight but can't spot the difference either! Utilise the optimized image to save bandwidth and loading time and your website visitors volition cheers.

Is it supported everywhere?

Excellent question! The files produced by TinyPNG are displayed perfectly on all modern browsers including mobile devices. All the same demand to support Net Explorer half-dozen? It commonly ignores PNG transparency and displays a solid background color. With TinyPNG the background becomes transparent again. Binary transparency without any workarounds!

Is it safe to use animated PNG?

Splendid question! Chrome, Firefox and Safari all support APNG. Only Microsoft Edge does not support the format even so. If you have an Edge browser you lot tin vote up APNG support on the Microsoft Programmer Feedback site.

Apple tree added animated stickers to iMessage with the release of iOS 10. If you want to create and compress stickers nether 500 KB have a look at the iMessage Panda sticker example on Github.

What virtually Photoshop?

Excellent question! Only Photoshop CC 2015 or newer can save images as indexed PNG files with alpha transparency. With other versions it is incommunicable and Photoshop CS5 cannot even display them properly.

Yous can use Save for Web to export your images as 24-chip transparent PNG files and upload them to TinyPNG. We'll convert them to tiny indexed PNG files. Y'all can as well install the TinyPNG Photoshop plugin. It allows you to calibration, preview and save compressed PNG and JPEG images straight from Photoshop.
