Steps to verify

  • Read the output format.
  • Compare actual size.
  • Review alternatives preserving transparency and text.

How to interpret the result

Browser PNG export does not apply quality in the same way, so this flow disables adjustment. With another format, recheck quality controls and transparency.

Deciding what to do next

Sharpness can matter for logos and screenshots. Compare text and backgrounds before choosing a smaller alternative.

Feature scope

Export a new file at the same dimensions in the browser. Compare JPEG/WebP quality and format; PNG quality behaves differently and the output is not always smaller.

Frequently asked questions

Is unchanged PNG size necessarily an error?

It can follow format behavior. Judge actual output and required quality.
