| Measured fixture results | File reduction: 57.73% · Output size: 1749 KB | File reduction: 79.65% · Output size: 842 KB |
| Fixture findings | Kept PNG format while reducing this fixture by about 58%; check free file-size and quantity limits. | Strong size reduction suits upload limits; gradients show banding and download ads need care. |
| Original historical observation | TinyPNG remains the gold standard for smart PNG quantization: without changing format or pixel dimensions (2048×2048), it cuts our 4.24 MB anchor PNG by 57.73% (1,749.0 KB) while achieving the highest fidelity in the category at PSNR=40.09 dB and SSIM=0.9987 (02_workspace.png, 03_download.png). | 11zon offers a very handy dual-tab interface ('Slider' by % and 'Size' by target KB), shrinking our 4.14 MB PNG down to 842 KB (-79.65%) in 1.8s at its default 60% level; however, the aggressive palette cut causes visible gradient banding (PSNR=32.83 dB) and users must dodge 3 green 'DOWNLOAD EXTENSION' fake ad buttons (02_workspace.png). |
| Suitable uses · historical assessment | Frontend developers, UI designers, and content editors who need to keep native PNG format (and alpha support) while cutting file weight by ~60% with virtually zero visual loss (PSNR > 40 dB) | Users facing strict government or academic portal upload limits (e.g., forcing a large PNG under 1 MB or an exact KB target) who can tolerate mild background gradient banding |
