pngquant Overview

pngquant is a command-line utility and a library for lossy compression of PNG images.

Features

* Unique adaptive dithering algorithm that adds less noise to images than the standard Floyd-Steinberg.
* Easy to integrate with shell scripts, GUIs and server-side software.
* Fast mode for processing large numbers of images.
