ABOUT THIS TOOL

Free Compress PNG — Reduce PNG File Size Online

Compress PNG images with browser-side palette quantization while keeping PNG output and transparency data in the image pipeline.

How PNG quantization reduces size

PNG does not expose a JPEG-style quality slider in the browser. Toolmera instead uses palette quantization: the decoded RGBA pixels are re-encoded with a limited color palette.

You can choose 256, 128 or 64 colors. Fewer colors can reduce size more, but gradients and detailed artwork may show stronger color simplification.

PNG output stays PNG

Unlike Toolmera’s general Compress Image page, this dedicated tool does not convert PNG input to WebP. The output remains a PNG blob.

The encoder receives RGBA pixel data, so transparency is part of the source used during the PNG re-encode. Always inspect important assets before replacing originals.

When to use PNG compression instead of WebP

Use this tool when a destination specifically requires PNG or when you need to stay within a PNG-based workflow. If format flexibility is available, PNG to WebP may produce a smaller web-delivery file.

FAQ

Common questions

Does this tool convert PNG to WebP?

No. Compress PNG produces a PNG output file.

What does the color setting change?

It limits the palette used by the PNG encoder. Lower palette counts can reduce file size but may simplify colors more visibly.

Can PNG transparency be used in the output?

The compressor encodes from RGBA pixel data, including alpha information from the decoded source. Check the output visually for critical transparent assets.

Is this lossless compression?

No. Palette quantization can reduce color precision, so the dedicated compressor should be treated as a lossy PNG optimization workflow.
