PNGs are a popular image format created in the mid-1990s. Theyâre a high-quality option that provides sharp graphics and supports transparent backgrounds, often used for logos, web graphics, charts, and other online images.
Unfortunately, their file sizes are larger than many other image formats like JPEG due to the high quality and the fact that they contain a lot of data. This means PNGs might be slower to load on web pages and take up more of your hard drive space to store.
Thankfully, our Bulk PNG Compressor tool helps reduce the size of these images by as much as 90% without a major loss in image quality, allowing them load quicker and take up less space.
How Does It Work?
Using our tool is easy and there are only a few steps involved in drastically reducing the size of your PNG files.
Step 1: Get started by either searching your computer for the PNG file(s) you want to compress or dragging and dropping them into the image area on the tool.
Step 2: Your chosen images are listed under the âaccepted filesâ heading, and youâll also see the total size of all of your images combined.
Step 3: Searching through the images is easy, and if you want to remove any, simply press the âXâ inside the blue circle, or you can press âRemove Allâ if you want to start from scratch.
Step 4: Once you have all the right images selected, press âCompress Allâ to begin the compression process.
Step 5: After only a short amount of time, the tool will compress your files and list them, as well as show off the new total size and the percentage of the size that the tool was able to reduce. If you click âDownload Allâ, each photo will be downloaded in a folder that saves to your computer.
