Select a PNG file to compress

Optimize PNG files with lossless compression using UPNG.js and pako. Reduce file size by 40-70% without any quality loss - every pixel remains identical. Perfect for logos, graphics, and screenshots where quality cannot be compromised.

How to Compress PNG Files

  1. Upload your PNG file
  2. Adjust compression level (higher = smaller files)
  3. Click 'Process' to optimize
  4. Download compressed PNG with zero quality loss

Key Features

True Lossless Compression

Uses advanced DEFLATE algorithms (UPNG.js + pako) for maximum compression with zero quality degradation. Every pixel is preserved exactly.

40-70% Size Reduction

Typical savings of 40-70% on unoptimized PNGs. Poorly optimized exports from design tools can compress even more.

Adjustable Compression Level

Higher levels produce smaller files but take longer. Level 70 is ideal balance - aggressive compression without excessive processing time.

Preserves Transparency

Alpha channels are maintained perfectly. Ideal for logos, icons, and graphics with transparent backgrounds.

Browser-Based Privacy

All optimization happens locally in your browser. No uploads, no servers, complete privacy.

Privacy & Security

PNG compression is performed entirely client-side using UPNG.js and pako libraries. Your images never leave your device - all processing is local. We have zero access to your files.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does lossless mean?

Lossless compression reduces file size without removing any data. The decompressed image is pixel-for-pixel identical to the original. Unlike lossy JPG compression, no quality is sacrificed.

How much will my PNG compress?

Varies widely. Unoptimized PNGs from Photoshop/design tools: 40-70% savings. Already optimized PNGs: 5-20% savings. Screenshots and simple graphics compress better than photos.

What compression level should I use?

Level 70 recommended - aggressive compression without excessive processing time. Level 256 (maximum) produces smallest files but is much slower. Lower levels (30-50) are faster with slightly larger files.

Can I compress PNG multiple times?

Yes, but diminishing returns. First optimization gives biggest savings. Re-compressing an already optimized PNG yields minimal additional savings (usually <5%).

Why not just convert to WebP or AVIF?

PNG offers universal compatibility and lossless quality. Use PNG when you need perfect quality and transparency across all platforms. Use WebP/AVIF for smaller lossy files on modern browsers.

Does compression affect transparent areas?

No. Alpha channel transparency is preserved perfectly. Compression optimizes how color and alpha data is stored without changing pixel values.

When to Compress PNG Files

  • Optimize logos and icons for web use
  • Reduce size of screenshots and diagrams
  • Compress graphics exported from design tools (Photoshop, Figma, Illustrator)
  • Optimize transparent images for websites
  • Prepare graphics for faster page loading
  • Reduce storage space for large PNG collections
