Description: PNG (Portable Network Graphics) image optimising utility
12
pngquant is a command-line utility to quantize and dither 32-bit RGBA
13
PNGs down to 8-bit (or smaller) RGBA-palette PNGs, usually with a
14
significant reduction in file size. (Other PNG image types, even
15
colormapped images, may also be processed, but they will first be
16
expanded to RGBA, which isn't the most efficient way to do so.) This
17
is the same technique used for many of the images on the Miscellaneous
18
Transparent PNGs page (http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/pngs-img.html), and
19
the results are often indistinguishable from the original, truecolor PNG
22
Version 1.0 supports batch processing (i.e., wildcard multifile
23
capability: "pngquant 256 *.png"), palette (tRNS) optimization, and
24
Unix-style filter operation (e.g., "make_RGBA_png | pngquant 48 |
