ImageAlpha VS Oxipng

If anyone wants a internet-free app on OSX, try ImageAlpha! It's great, lots of settings to try and optimize PNGs. https://pngmini.com/. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

For non photographic images, I use a combination of ImageAlpha and ImageOptim and sometimes crop the image to 2x of the maximum expected display size (2x so that the image will stay sharp on high-DPI screen). Keep in mind that my method uses the lossy compression approach. Meaning that you wouldn't want to use my method on your master images. Source: over 2 years ago

I have had good experiences with https://github.com/shssoichiro/oxipng . Although, I suspect this wouldn't give you nearly enough space savings as jpg. Source: 12 months ago

If you do want the file as a PNG (for transparency and a common format that's well supported), but don't want it so huge, consider something like oxipng. https://github.com/shssoichiro/oxipng. Source: over 1 year ago

I wonder how `pngcrush` compares to `oxipng` (https://github.com/shssoichiro/oxipng). Personally, I use `oxipng` if I want lossless compression. However, most of the time, I use `pngquant` instead, since it gives significant size reduction even at `99%` (I can't even distinguish between the original and reduced image).

    pngquant --quality=99 --ext=.png --force file.png

Depending on your workflow it might make sense to export PNGs directly from Affinity and then reduce their size with a utility like Oxipng, which uses all your cores to find the best algorithm for each particular image. Source: almost 2 years ago
