Hello. I have managed to knock down the file size on my museum collection image to 237 KB by turning scaling down to 75% (same as the original) and using PNGGauntlet - assuming Wiki doesn't recompress PNGs. Am I allowed to upload it as a new version of the existing image, and if not, what would be the best way to go about it? [[User:Equo|Equo]] ([[User talk:Equo|talk]]) 01:49, 7 October 2022 (UTC)

:Hello Equo! If it's important to you, then you can upload the image as a new version of the existing image. If you don't see any change in the image, wait up to 5 hours for the server to refresh. (I've repeatedly asked the server people to fix this wait time, but to no avail!) If you do see your image, then great! The wiki doesn't recompress .png images, but PNGGauntlet may cause issues with transparency. Wait until you see your new image properly, and then assess the transparency. If it looks good, you're done. If not... get back to me. I can try to compress it in Photoshop with 8-bit depth. OK?
