Lossy PNG Kornel Lesiński 2014
PNG Lossless JPEG Lossy
PNG PNG JPEG Lossless Lossy PNG Opaque Alpha Channel WebP
JPEG 2000 JPEG XR JPEG XT if you need lossy and alpha, it becomes complicated. You may need to serve 4 different files for every image!
flickr.com/photos/ama711/8760361969 0% 100% Lossy PNG is a hack, but it
works like a truly lossy format
Pixels Math gzip Standard PNG
None
gzip finds and removes repeated sequences of identical pixels
00000000 00000001 00000010 00000011 00000100 00000101 00000110 00000111 00001000 00001001

Some images don’t have repeated pixels and few very popular
colors
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
0 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = = Instead of storing uncompressible absolute values PNG can store difference between neighboring pixels
5 6 4 6 5 5 6 4 5 4
5 + 1 -2 +2 - 1 0 + 1 -2 + 1 - 1 = = 5 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Noisy images won’t compress well… unless you fake the data and remove the noise
Pixels Math gzip Lies Lossy PNG trick is about replacing
math with lies. Only the encoder changes, so it’s 100% compatible.
? When PNG “guesses” what the next pixel will be,
it can make the guess based on average of 2 neighbors, which in lossy PNG causes blur

so it tends to preserve sharp edges, especially text
28KB flickr.com/photos/_tar0_/6223343149 Top of the file has 0% quality, bottom
80% quality
• Works everywhere—fully backwards-compatible • No color limit—supports 24 and
32-bit PNG • Preserves edges—per-pixel quality control • Very fast—small tweak in the encoder • Streamable—only needs 2 lines of the image
pngquant -Q 75-100 --skip-if-larger \ -o out.png in.png || posterize
-b -Q 75 in.jpg out.jpg pngquant is often more efficient, but can’t guarantee quality. You can combine the two for best results.
