What to do first

  1. Make a copy of the original file.
  2. Compress the copy, not the original.
  3. Open the smaller file and check that it still looks right.
  4. Send the smaller copy and keep the original until the receiver confirms it works.

What this page is for

Make a PNG File Smaller helps when the file is blocking an email, upload, or Gmail attachment. The aim is a smaller PNG image that opens normally and still looks right.

For email, a practical target is usually under 20-25 MB. Smaller targets such as 1 MB, 500 KB, or 100 KB may need stronger compression and closer checking.

How to make it smaller

  • Check the current file size and dimensions.
  • Resize only if the image is much larger than needed.
  • Do not crop or stretch the image.
  • Use JPG for photos and PNG only when transparency or sharp graphics matter.
  • Open the smaller file and compare details before sending.

What to watch before sending

  • The smaller file should open on another device or browser.
  • The important text, faces, signatures, charts, or product details should still be clear.
  • The file name and format should still make sense to the person receiving it.
  • If the target is a smaller file, check the final size before sending.

When Devenia should handle it

For images and photos, Devenia can make a lighter copy without cropping, stretching, or changing what the image shows.

This is separate from the guide. The page should still help you understand the job even if you do not ask Devenia to do it.
