Hi. I have a logo which is sitting at 1.5mb. This is putting my map at a very large size. (cant even upload it on test server). When i try compress it, i am no longer able to see the image in my Mapres. I have even tried changing the resolution but i havent had any luck. Does anyone possibly have a solution for me? (I have only tried online compression software as i don't know much about photoshop)

Don't use indexed PNG, teeworlds uses the pnglite library and only supports RGBA PNGs.

How would i not use indexed PNG? (Not sure what that means). This logo was made for me. I dont know how to keep the file in RGBA format when it is converted. (I also just tried converting my converted file to RGBA, and that flopped). Sorry for all the questions

Depends on the graphics program you use, no idea. You can try googling or tell us which one you use.

I searched for 'compress png image' on google and tried every site i could. Here are a few that i tried.
compresspng.com
https://tinypng.com
ezgif.com/optipng
resizeimage.net/
resizeyourimage.com
https://www.giftofspeed.com/png-compressor/
I can't seem to find anything on how to keep it in RGBA format, even after googling. Only people explaining what these terms mean. But i guess i am not looking properly

Tell the guy who made it to export it in smaller resolution/with lower dpi.
Also he might check his general export-settings. Could be possible that he stores too much useless data in the files.

If you still have issues, you might want to attach the file here and we can see what we can do :)

Choose a size:

- zopfli_smaller.png (80.48 KiB) Viewed 3580 times

- zopfli_smaller.png (169.27 KiB) Viewed 3579 times
Gimp, scale image, export. (I also use a custom zopflipng that doesn't use indexed pngs, but that's just a few KB)
