Frequently Asked Questions
Will my transparent background remain?
Yes, compressing a PNG file will retain its transparency/alpha layers.
Why are my PNG files so big?
PNGs are natively a lossless format, which means they do not immediately discard spatial data. Unlike JPG, which aggressively throws away detail, PNG retains everything, resulting in huge file sizes unless optimized.
