/ 01PNG quality works differently.
PNG is lossless, so browsers do not use the quality slider when encoding it. At original dimensions, this tool redraws and re-encodes the pixels, removing source metadata. That can reduce some files, but an already optimized or indexed-color PNG can be smaller than the browser’s output. We keep the original in that case.
/ 02Transparency stays transparent.
Logos, cutouts, and interface graphics often depend on an alpha channel. PNG output preserves transparent and semitransparent pixels rather than adding a white background. The checkerboard in the preview helps you inspect those areas; it is not part of your downloaded image.
/ 03Meeting a PNG file-size limit.
A target size can require reducing width and height because changing quality alone cannot shrink PNG. This changes pixel dimensions and may soften text or fine lines. Check the displayed dimensions before using the result. For detailed screenshots, choose a larger limit when you can. Palette quantization is planned for V2.
