NAME
       pngquant   PNG image optimising utility

SYNOPSIS
       pngquant [ options ]  [pngfile [pngfile ...]]
       pngquant [ options ]  map mapfile [pngfile [pngfile ...]]

       Note  that it's required to specify the number of colors () or
       the mapfile. Arguments in square brackets are optional.

DESCRIPTION
       This manual page documents briefly the pngquant command.

       pngquant quantizes one or more 32 bit RGBA PNGs to 8 bit  (or  smaller)
       RGBA palette  PNGs  using  either  ordered dithering or Floyd Steinberg
       diffusion dithering (default). The output filename is the same  as  the
       input  name  except  that  it  ends in  fs8.png or  or8.png (unless the
       input is stdin, in which case the quantized image will go  to  stdout).
       The  default  behavior if the output file exists is to skip the conver 
       sion; use  force to overwrite.

OPTIONS
        force Overwrite existing output files.

        ordened,  nofloyd,  nofs
              Use ordered dithering.

        verbose,  noquiet
              Print status messages.

       NOTE:  the  map option is NOT YET SUPPORTED.

EXAMPLE
       Creating a new image with the number of colors reduced to 64:

            pngquant 64 image.png

       The resulting image will have 64 colors and will  be  saved  as  image 
       fs8.png.
