Viewing Shrink png files in size

Shrink png files in size



User: pumpkin 10 years ago
In case anyone else is searching for such a tool, I found a website that does this: http://tinypng.org

Tried it for the header on my homepage (980*500px in size). It was 287kb before and got reduced to 64kb

I wish I could compress twice though. My @2x image is still too big in file size.

Jpegs are better to use for smaller sized images. Retina Jpegs can actually be compressed to a smaller percentage and still look ok.

However keep in mind that in EasyWeb your retina image must be in the same format as your non retina image.

Yeah, at the end I just went with jpg and made it work without transparency. Way smaller file sizes and still look great.

Can't confirm that. The retina sized logo image (1960 x 320 pixel) on the singkehlchen site has 120kb when exported from pixelmator as a jpg with 90% quality, 315kb when exported as a png, and only 78kb after I shrinked the png using tinypng.org.

Might depend on the graphic itself
