When to use it
Use this when the file must remain a PNG. OxiPNG tests more efficient filters and compression settings around the same pixel data, so dimensions, transparency, and visual quality remain unchanged. Savings are usually modest because PNG is already compressed, but the result is a genuine smaller .png rather than a WebP conversion.
- Reduce PNG website assets while preserving their exact format and alpha transparency.
- Clean up oversized PNG exports from design, screenshot, and illustration apps.
- Optimize app icons and UI graphics without introducing color banding or blur.
