Compress a PNG to under 500 KB

Make PNG files smaller without uploading them. Lossless optimization keeps every pixel; lossy mode cuts up to 70% by reducing colors.

Screenshots and logos saved as PNG often weigh several megabytes. This preset reduces colours smartly (like a designer would) until the file is under 500 KB, keeping transparency. Runs on your device.

How it works

  1. Drop your PNG files.
  2. Keep "lossless" for exact pixels, or choose a lossy level for the smallest files.
  3. Compress and download.

This tool runs entirely in your browser. Your files are never uploaded, so there is no size limit and it works offline once loaded.

Common situations

Frequently asked questions

Is it really free and private?

Yes. Everything runs in your browser with open-source code; nothing is uploaded. No account, no watermark, no file-size limit other than your device's memory.

Lossless or lossy?

Lossless when the image must stay pixel-exact (logos, medical images). Lossy for screenshots, diagrams and web graphics, where 256 well-chosen colors look identical.

Is transparency preserved?

Yes, in both modes.
