Compress PNG
PNG is lossless, so the achievable reduction is far smaller than with JPG. When the file is a photo and needs no transparency, converting to JPG saves much more — and that option is on the same screen.
How to use
- 1Upload the file that needs to be lighter.
- 2Adjust quality and optionally the scale — the final size updates instantly.
- 3Download the compressed version.
What it's for
Transparency preserved
Stay in PNG and the alpha channel remains intact.
JPG alternative
If transparency doesn't matter, switch format for far bigger savings.
Adjustable scale
Reducing dimensions is the most effective route for very large PNGs.
Frequently asked questions
Why did my PNG barely shrink?
PNG is lossless. Photographic PNGs mainly shrink by changing format or scale.
When should I stay on PNG?
Whenever there's transparency, crisp text, screenshots or flat-colour graphics.
Does converting to JPG remove transparency?
Yes — transparent areas become a solid background, usually white.
