Details

How this should help in practice

These sections explain the job in plain language and set expectations for what the tool should do well.

Why this should not be hidden inside a normal compressor

Indexed PNG is a different decision from ordinary image compression. The tradeoff is not just about weight; it is about whether fewer colors are acceptable for this asset type.

That deserves its own tool so people can see the palette reduction clearly and judge the result before they download it.

Where PNG-8 still helps most

This works best for logos, icons, simple illustrations, transparent stickers, and other graphics where the image does not need photo-like color depth.

FAQ

Common questions

Short answers for the questions people usually have before trying a utility like this.

Is PNG-8 always smaller than a normal PNG?

Not always, but it often becomes much smaller when the artwork uses a limited number of colors or simpler transparency.

Can this preserve transparency?

Yes. The goal is still an indexed PNG export that keeps transparency where the quantized palette allows it.

Does this upload the PNG to a server?

No. Quantization and export happen locally in the browser.
