Frequently Asked Questions
What is PNG quantization?
Quantization is the process of reducing the number of colors in an image. By converting a 24-bit PNG to an 8-bit indexed palette (256 colors) locally, the file size is reduced by up to 80% with minimal loss in visual quality.
Does this tool work without internet?
Yes, once loaded, the PNG quantization and compression scripts run 100% offline using your browser's local resources.
