could be compressed to  (this is a simple way of understanding lossless compression and doesn't reflect the exact details how PNGs work). Also, PNGs by definition are already compressed. When I say I used PNG Monstrous (a compressing tool to make them internet-ready), the program automatically looked at the best possible compressed data arrangement for an image. Keep in mind that this doesn't fix how an image appears, which is often why I say to recapture an image tagged with, especially if I detect a JPEG converted to PNG or YouTube-captured screenshots. PNGs are great for images with solid colors; such as NES games (captured as the game is running in an emulator) or solid color art where the JPEG format would make artifacts look apparent. To get transparency, GIMP is a popular free choice while Photoshop is a very common but not free tool. I have had success with FastStone Image Viewer. Just use the  key when you are done selecting pixels (any program I mentioned). Sorry if this was overly long. I just wanted to give you knowledge how to best use each format. -- 20:16, 27 October 2016 (EDT)
