Here, have this...

You'll thank me later.

Not really useful, especially since image compression is already implemented in C2.

Prefer to use it and read further about export optimisations that are processed and make such a program kind of irrelevant in C2's workflow.

Oh, nevermind then

*shame shame shame*

I use PNGoo (ofline tool) before inserting them in Construct2, or anywhere as standard practice. Maybe not needed for Construct but it will warm you a little to cut does heavy png files in half.

There are others like PNGoptimizer that i also keep in the tools bag for when PNGoo crashes (with +gb files)

Haha nice, but I prefer using compresspng.com. Gave me a bit better results with less artifacts when I compared the results of both.

Kyatric, thank you for sharing that. I read it and I am a bit confused, that is a compressor inside C2 am I correct? But if I used compress images when I import images into C2, does it mean that they won't get compressed by C2 anymore or will it still further compress it? I remembered in one of my older game tests, I wanted to reduce the memory usage shown at the bottom of C2, so I used the website to compress all my images. I was able to reduce it by about 6mb, which was good, but since I never exported both versions out, I never did compare the two performance or image size in the file.

The compression only happens on export.

And do not think about "further" compression, but taking the existing images in your project and processing them to the compression quality chosen/by default while ordering them in spritesheets.

C2 does a pretty good job at dithering when exporting as 8 bit png's.

However, PNGoo uses a different algorithm to dither down the colors. In some cases, it is superior to the lib used by C2 (pngcrush).

I think TinyPNG uses the same algo as PNGoo.
