To reduce png file's size when reducing color, use -depth for values of to stand for file name.There are a few advanced tricks to optimize images for web consumption, such as sharpening them after size reduction and using dedicated command-line tools to reduce their sizes. Note that reducing colors does not necessarily reduce file size. To reduce color without dithering, use +dither instead of -dither. Reduce color magick convert -dither -colors 256 old.png new.png That makes it 8 bits.įor clean black and white line art, you can use “-depth 2”. In particular, for a grayscale line art in png, you can do: Note: this does not force the png image format to use indexed color for smaller file size.

The above increase brightness by the multiplier 150%.

The x and y axes's origin starts at the upper left corner. The 0 is the offset on x-axis, and 56 is the offset of y-axis. The 853 and 368 would be the new image's width and height.
