XnView Software

Hi, guys!

I noticed that when I convert PNG images, they are much larger than when I do it with tinypng.com service.

I tried different combinations of compression ratio and filters, but nothing helps.

Can you help me to create a profile or just tell me settings combination in order to achieve the same result as tinypng.com?

Best regards!

Could you either post example tinypng.com and XnConvert images, or use XnView MP (for example) to examine the differences in the properties of the images. Maybe the colour depths are different??

Or if easier maybe post an original image for examination.

TinyPNG's compression is lossy. According to XnView (Image → Count colors used), example-orig.png has 14'983 unique colors, while example-shrunk.png has only 236. Inspecting these examples with TweakPNG shows that the color depth has been reduced from truecolor + alpha channel to indexed + alpha channel. So-called “ancillary chunks” (e.g. metadata) have also been removed.

Because I use Pngyu/PNGoo (for lossy color reduction) and PngOptimizer (for lossless compression), I put buttons to these programs on XnView's toolbar.
