2. Help : How to reduce colors for saving a JPEG as PNG

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:How_to_reduce_colors...

   If the new version is too sharp, you can utilize the blur filter or tool to fix this, or use Colors > Levels to mess with the Alpha channel. Once it looks correct, save the image as a PNG. Then, to reduce file size, run it through a program like ImageMagick that supports 8-bit PNGs with alpha transparency, in order to remove any unnecessary ...

3. Lossy compression - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lossy_compression

   Basic information theory says that there is an absolute limit in reducing the size of this data. When data is compressed, its entropy increases, and it cannot increase indefinitely. For example, a compressed ZIP file is smaller than its original, but repeatedly compressing the same file will not reduce the size to nothing. Most compression ...

4. Data compression - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_compression

   For example, an image may have areas of color that do not change over several pixels; instead of coding "red pixel, red pixel, ..." the data may be encoded as "279 red pixels". This is a basic example of run-length encoding; there are many schemes to reduce file size by eliminating redundancy.

5. Image compression - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_compression

   Image compression is a type of data compression applied to digital images, to reduce their cost for storage or transmission. Algorithms may take advantage of visual perception and the statistical properties of image data to provide superior results compared with generic data compression methods which are used for other digital data.

6. pngcrush - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pngcrush

   It reduces the size of the file losslessly – that is, the resulting "crushed" image will have the same quality as the source image. The main purpose of pngcrush is to reduce the size of the PNG IDAT data stream by trying various combinations of compression methods and delta filters.

7. Lossless compression - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lossless_compression

   Some image file formats, like PNG or GIF, use only lossless compression, while others like TIFF and MNG may use either lossless or lossy methods. Lossless audio formats are most often used for archiving or production purposes, while smaller lossy audio files are typically used on portable players and in other cases where storage space is ...
