Compressing a .png image is an easy and effective way to reduce the file size of your image without sacrificing its quality. This can be done using various programs and tools, such as image editing and optimization software or web-based compressors. Here are the steps to compressing a .png image:
1. Open the image in your preferred image editor. Popular choices include Adobe Photoshop, GIMP, or Pixlr. Alternatively, you may choose to upload your image onto a browser-based compressor if you do not have an image editing program installed on your computer.
2. Once the image is opened in the image editor, locate the “Save As” option and click on it. This will open another dialogue box, which will give you the option to save the image in numerous formats. Choose the .png option from the list of available formats.
3. Proceed to adjust the settings for the .png file. Depending on the editor you are using, the settings for the .png will vary. Look for options such as “compression” or “quality”, and adjust those accordingly. Generally, lower compression or lower quality settings will result in a smaller file size.
4. After you have adjusted the settings to your liking, save the image as a .pnh. Depending on the compression or quality levels you have chosen, the file size of the image may have changed significantly.
5. Now that the image has been saved as a .png, you have successfully compressed the image. To check the file size of the image, right-click on the file and select “Properties”. In the “Properties” window, you should be able to see the current file size of the .png image.
