When you’ll use it the first time it will ask you for your TinyPNG API Key that you can request here. Update: Somebody made an automator workflow that you can download and install just by double clicking it. But we can automate that whole process so you’ll not have to open the browser by using Mac Automator. I’ve updated the script.Įspecially when you start dealing with many files the browser-solution quickly becomes tedious. Update: Thanks to a comment from Ingo the service now also works with JPG files. This service performs even a little bit better. Will pointed out an alternative png compressor by in the comments. Performance: 329KB reduced to 145KB (–56%) It does not get easier than this.ĭisadvantage: The workflow is slow for a whole set of pictures, you can’t download the whole set after compression. Well you need to download the file afterwards. Drag and Drop the image onto the hungry panda, done. Fire up your browser and head over to TinyPNG. This one is so easy it almost doesn’t need an explanation. Browser-Beginner: The not every-day-solution
#Png to png compressor how to
Luckily there are a few options on how to compress PNG files, which I will show you here. The big problem of PNG is it’s size, out of the box PNGs are pretty big. Whenever there is a picture out of a camera like the right example above you should use JPG, it will be much smaller and you won’t notice the different compression. You’ll get a pretty lossless and sharp screenshot when you use PNGs. PNG works best when there are no blurs, faded colors or generally if there are mostly one-colored areas.Ī screenshot is probably the best example of an image where PNGs work really good. PNG (Portable Network Graphics) are great, you should always prefer them over GIFs or JPGs whenever the format suits the image.
