bobby131313 Forum Dad United States 24185 Posts	Posted 08/01/2017 9:12 pm Look at this JPG file... This file is 86KB, your PNG is 190KB and there's no difference. 55% Smaller. But just keep reusing the PNG that's already uploaded. Shop CCF Members on eBay. Report this Post to the Staff
MikeF Pillar of the Community United States 3479 Posts	Posted 08/01/2017 9:14 pm Very cool Bobby! Your throwing out all kinds of thunder! So for future uploads, (I use nss-52's paint.net)is their a way to convert png's to another format? I'm guessing that paint.net automatically converts them to png but I'm an image sizing moron.
