Why PNGs get so large
PNG is lossless, so photographic content with millions of colors barely compresses. Screenshots with flat areas compress far better.
If your PNG is a photo, converting it to WebP or JPG at quality 85 often cuts the size by 80% with no visible difference.
Keep PNG when it matters
Stay with PNG when you need transparency or pixel-perfect text, like UI screenshots and logos.
For everything else, try WebP first — it supports transparency too, at a fraction of the size.
