  1. - Average #PNGCrush user: OMFG It went from 200KB to 175KB absolutely insane compression levels!!!!

    - Average #PNGQuant user: It only went from 200KB to 46KB? Just a little bit more... I can feel I can squish a few KB out.

    Of course, I do the silly:

    > Note: This is the command I use on Android via Termux to compress PNGs, that's why it's ugly AF. In my copypasta version it doesn't even have newlines.

  2. @wyatt @kawa @gelatin You can't tell from the extension or MIME type whether someone ran a recording through LossyWAV before FLAC encoding. Likewise PNG with pngquant or other palette dithering tools.

  3. @wyatt @kawa There have been a few attempts at "lossy PNG". One method, anticipated by the standard, involves reducing colors in a continuous-tone image to store it in indexed mode. The other involves adjusting pixels of 24-bit images to be better predicted by PNG's line filter, giving more zero bytes for DEFLATE to use

  4. Using @kornel's #pngquant with @kate's nice "12-bit rainbow palette"

    pngquant --map a267501b520bb98e.png kodim23.png

    where "a267501b520bb98e.png" is from:

  5. is a lossy optimizer.

    pngquant intelligently reduces the color depth of PNG images to greatly decrease the filesize of an image. pngquant uses dithering to make color reduction as seemless as possible. In many cases pngquant can create visually identical files with a quarter of the size or smaller. PNG files made by pngquant are fully standards compliant.
