| Measured fixture results | File reduction: 59.02% · Output size: 1695.6 KB | File reduction: 57.64% · Output size: 1752.7 KB |
| Fixture findings | Reduced the tested PNG by about 59% with automatic download and no login; other inputs remain untested. | Offers before/after preview and colour adjustment; distinguish nearby ad buttons from the real download. |
| Original historical observation | iLoveIMG compresses our 4.24 MB (2048×2048) anchor PNG down to 1,695.6 KB (-59.02%) in 3.4s without login and triggers an automatic download at PSNR=34.64 dB and SSIM=0.9953 (02_workspace.png, 03_download.png). | Optimizilla (imagecompressor.com) shines with its interactive Before/After comparison canvas and 'Colors: 224' fine-tuning slider, shrinking our 4.14 MB anchor by 57.64% to 1.75 MB at PSNR=38.98 dB; however, users must watch out for two green 'DOWNLOAD EXTENSION' fake download ad banners directly above and below the workspace (01_landing.png, 02_workspace.png). |
| Suitable uses · historical assessment | Users who need fast, no-login batch compression of high-resolution PNG/JPG images larger than 5 MB without paying or signing up | Users who want to manually fine-tune PNG palette color counts (2–256 colors) with a live Before/After preview—provided they avoid the fake 'DOWNLOAD EXTENSION' ad banners |
