How to reduce PNG file size?

PNG is a lossless format, so reducing file size without resizing is limited. The most effective approach is to resize large PNG images to your needed dimensions, which can dramatically reduce file size.

When to use PNG vs JPG

Use PNG when you need transparency, sharp text, or pixel-perfect graphics. For photographs without transparency, converting to JPG with our tool will give much smaller files.

Tips for smaller PNG files

Resize to the actual display size you need. If you don't need transparency, consider converting to JPG or WebP for significantly smaller files.
