PHP+Imagick - PNG Compression

Question

How do I efficiently compress a PNG? In my case, the images are small grayscale images with transparency.

Currently I\'m playing with this:

// ...

$         


        

Answer 1

Have a look at the first part of this answer:

• Convert multipage PDF to PNG and back (Linux)

It explains the meaning + syntax of ImageMagick's -quality setting for PNGs.

Answer 2

I'm definitely not sure if it is correct way to save PNG, but my way is:

$im->setImageCompression(\Imagick::COMPRESSION_UNDEFINED);
$im->setImageCompressionQuality(0);

This gives me perfect quality of the image and file size very similar to PS6 saved 'Save for Web'. Sometimes even smaller sizes!
