PNG compression


Recommended Posts

I have created a document and are trying to export it as  PNG file for iPad Pro. The image has a gradient background together with a logo and an app name. The problem is, that when I export this it ends at 1.27 MB with a default PNG-24 preset. I cannot find any where to add compression to the PNG file. I have also tried to create the same image in InkScape and the exported image is only 53 KB with compression.

 

How can I add compression to the exported image in Affinity Designer?

 

Note: This article concludes the same as I see in my problem.

The PNG export is always compressed. Affinity dithers (adds noise to hide banding) its gradients (except for Layer Effects Gradient Overlay), and that noise drastically reduces the compressibility of the image data. 

 

If you do want an un-dithered gradient and tiny PNG size, then use Layer Effects Gradient Overlay.

 

 

Thanks. You were spot on on every comment.
