How it works

PNG Compressor in 4 steps

  2. It compresses instantly - transparency is preserved automatically.

  3. Adjust quality; graphics and screenshots stay crisp even at high compression.

  4. Download the compressed file.

When to use it

Here's the honest truth about PNG: it's lossless, so re-saving a PNG as PNG barely helps. Real savings come from encoding those exact pixels into a smarter container. This tool compresses your PNG into WebP - transparency intact, typically 60-80% smaller - which every modern browser and app opens.

  • Shrink full-page screenshots that came out at several megabytes.
  • Compress transparent logos and UI assets for faster page loads.
  • Cut a design-asset folder down to size with Pro batch.

Format & quality notes

  • Output is WebP because that's where PNG's real savings are - if a workflow strictly requires .png output, resize the dimensions instead.
  • Flat colors, text, and hard edges compress extremely well; expect the biggest wins on screenshots and graphics.
  • Alpha transparency survives fully - transparent areas stay transparent.
FAQ

Questions about the PNG Compressor.

Why does my compressed PNG come out as WebP?

PNG is lossless by design, so a PNG-to-PNG re-save barely shrinks. Encoding the same pixels as WebP keeps transparency and typically cuts 60-80% - that's the compression you actually came for.

I need the output to stay .png - what are my options?

Dimension reduction is the honest lever: use the Resize PNG tool to scale it down. True lossy PNG quantization (fewer colors) is on our roadmap.

Will my transparent background survive?

Yes - WebP supports full alpha transparency, so logos and cutouts keep their transparent areas.

Is anything uploaded?

No. The compression runs locally in your browser.
