After applying the minimizing by this tool, PNG files size may reduce to half of the original file size.
All things you need to applying is only “drag’n drop” onto the window of PngOptimizer. And you can applying it from CUI interface. In addition, this tool can convert your files from BMP/GIF/TGA to PNG format. And also, it will be suitable for Animation PNG.
