Best tool to compress a transparent png file to its smallest

I've played around with the usual optipng, pngcrush, advpng but by far the best results are found with pngquant which is actually a lossy compressor.

Depending on the settings the "loss" can be invisible so you get the benefits of a small file with none of the drawbacks.

pngquant --quality=65-80

Oh the conflict within. An entire section of a #drupal site was built bespoke, do I add a bespoke subsection, or rewrite the entire section? — 13 years 30 weeks ago
@psd It depends. Serving static pages means https has a larger relative impact. If there's a lot of processing, https is relatively small. — 13 years 31 weeks ago
