PNGExtra Program
|
In the same way that my
JPGExtra program optimizes JPG files with no loss of image quality, my new PNGExtra program similarly
optimizes PNG files by cleanly removing "extras" (or "metadata"). PNGExtra is the world's smallest, fastest
and most efficient program for PNG image optimization.

Sample PNG File
To demonstrate what PNGExtra does and why it's needed, let's look inside a typical PNG file to see the types of
"extras" (or "metadata") and how PNGExtra can optimize such files by cleanly removing those extras. |
 |
Sample Icon-sized PNG File
When an image is made smaller, many of the unseen "extras" within the resulting PNG file can still be just as
large, constituting a greater percentage of waste. Typical icon-sized PNG files will benefit the most from
optimization by PNGExtra. |
 |
Sample Web Page
Typical web sites, particularly shopping and photo sites, contain many individual PNG files on each page. After
optimizing those PNG files with PNGExtra, web pages go from "empty" to "full" much faster. |

PNGExtra Details
My program for optimizing PNG files is, in itself, an example of optimization. Don't be deceived by PNGExtra's
dull, grey appearance because the program is tuned for efficiency and performance. |

Get PNGExtra
PNGExtra is an incredibly tiny program, so it should only take a split-second to download onto your computer.
It's now available free of charge thanks to people who support me by buying items through my
Amazon links. |

I've tried to make PNGExtra fairly simple to use, but for the full picture, here's the A B C of
installing and using the program and understanding the various features plus some tricks to improve your workflow. |
