Help & clarification

Frequently Asked Questions

How does PNG optimization work?

PNG files store every colour exactly. Most images look identical with a palette of 256 colours or fewer, so reducing the palette — with dithering-free smart quantization — often cuts file size by 50–80% while keeping transparency.

Is the optimized PNG still lossless?

The “Lossless” option is pixel-perfect. The colour-reduction options are visually near-identical for graphics, logos and screenshots, but are technically lossy.

Does it keep my file format?

Yes. Your images stay PNG — only the file size changes.

Are my images uploaded to a server?

No. Every operation runs locally in your browser using the HTML5 Canvas engine. Your files never leave your device, so they stay completely private.

Is this tool free to use?

Yes — it's completely free with no sign-up, no watermarks added to your output and no daily limits.
