Most of today’s site uses PNG images due to use of transparencies. While they give a fine solution to the transparency problem with finer edge but it also brings about page load time issues.

To solve this problem i recently came across a PNG file compression utility.  This tiny utility is hosted on Source Forge and can be downloaded from here. This utility claims to have compressed PNG files upto 50%.

Though the utility is somewhat crude and runs in command prompt but there is a nifty post about how to call it from the windows shell.

For the shell add-on you may visit the following post.

take care,
