minus-squaretal@lemmy.todaylinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up64arrow-down1·edit-22 days ago PNG has terrible compression It’s fine if you’re using it for what it’s intended for, which is images with flat color or an ordered dither. It’s not great for compressing photographs, but then, that wasn’t what it was aimed at. Similarly, JPEG isn’t great at storing flat-color lossless images, which is PNG’s forte. Different tools for different jobs.
