Export As is the same as save for web. PNG, especially transparent PNG won't compress too drastic when using save for web, from my experiences. ImgOptim & TriImage are not for PC. Tom Livingston wrote: I suggest starting with Save For Web, using the setting to get the image as small as

I suggest starting with Save For Web, using the setting to get the image as small as possible in weight. Then use one of the compression tools mentioned to compress even further. ImgOptim will compress png as well as jpg. On Sunday, September 20, 2015, Crest Christopher

Ok, but the same (I would say) holds true to any image compression utility. Use the program that is made to compress the image first using the full(est) resolution, then take that reduced file and see if photoshop can reduce more without mudding the image. Best, Karl DeSaulniers Design Drumm

As well my images are PNG. I don't use the legacy Save for Web; I prefer Export As; formally Export Assets in Photoshop, which doesn't offer any control for compression for PNG images. Blurring parts of an image, it can be beneficial; not for mobile, where the screen is small to begin with.
