1Drop your PNG images into the box above, or pick them from your device — there is nothing to install and no account to create.
2Choose how hard to squeeze: a quality or bitrate target, and optionally smaller dimensions if size matters more to you than detail.
3Start the job and let the workers re-pack the file; your original is never modified in place.
4Compare the new size against the original, then download the compressed PNG file.
Compress PNG FAQ
What do I get back, and can I control the trade-off?
+
A single compressed file per input, at a quality or bitrate level you choose rather than a fixed default. If the result is not small enough, changing the dimensions or the duration will do more than pushing the quality slider further down.
How much smaller will my file get?
+
That is decided by the content, not by the tool. Photographic detail and film grain resist compression; flat colour, text and silence collapse. A realistic expectation is a large reduction on anything with big uniform regions and a modest one on a busy photograph or a high-motion clip.
Does the format of my file change how much I can save?
+
Very much so. PNG is lossless DEFLATE with a full 8-bit alpha channel and optional 16-bit depth, so it never degrades on re-save but gets large on photographic content. That determines both the headroom available and whether the saving costs you anything in fidelity.
Is there anything specific to PNG I should know before compressing?
+
Yes — there is no quality slider to get wrong — a PNG round-trips bit-exactly, so the only thing edits cost you is file size. It is worth knowing before you overwrite an original you might need again.
Will Compress PNG lower the quality of my PNG images?
+
No. A lossless source round-trips bit-exactly, so unless you explicitly ask for a lossy output format the pixels that come back are the pixels that went in. That is the whole reason to keep working in this family while you are still editing.
Can I run Compress PNG on several PNG images at once?
+
Yes — upload the set and they process in parallel under one set of settings. Lossless files are larger, so a big batch is bound by your upload speed rather than by the processing itself.
Does the alpha channel survive?
+
Yes. PNG and TIFF carry a full 8-bit alpha channel and it is preserved end to end. It is only flattened if you deliberately target a format that has no alpha, in which case transparent pixels are composited onto white.
Does Compress PNG cost anything?
+
No. Compress PNG runs free without an account and adds no watermark. Files are removed from the workers shortly after you download, and nothing about the image is retained.
Why does a WebM site host Compress PNG?
+
WEBM.to is built around the container the open web actually chose — VP9 or AV1 with Opus audio, decoded natively by every modern browser and needing no plugin, licence or player. Video is the case where extra round trips hurt most — the files are large and every upload costs real minutes. Running Compress PNG on the same pipeline as the conversions means one upload covers the whole job instead of one upload per tool.
What should I do with the result once Compress PNG is finished?
+
The converter on this site moves video between WebM, MP4, MKV, MOV and the rest, or pulls the soundtrack out entirely, without another upload. Sequencing it that way matters more for video than anywhere else: each re-encode is another generation, so the fewer of them stand between the source and the file you publish, the better it looks.
Is Compress PNG here the same tool the sibling sites run?
+
The engines are shared — the same ffmpeg build with x264, x265 and libvpx, the same workers, the same limits. What a WebM site adds is a view on containers and codecs: which combinations play everywhere, which need a re-encode and which can simply be copied across. It also starts from one fact about the format this site is named after: WebM is VP9 or AV1 with Opus audio, which browsers decode natively but which most desktop editors still transcode on import.
Do I need an account, and does anything get kept?
+
No account, and nothing is kept: uploaded video is deleted from the workers shortly after the job finishes, nothing is watched and nothing is indexed. Free accounts exist for history and batch size, not for access.
