Do you want your channel art to be filled up, but the size is too big and you have to cut part of it?
Well hers a solution, a compressor!
This compressor puts down the size A LOT but still keeps the quality!
I found this website!
WEBSITE: http://compresspng.com/

PNGGOO (GUI): http://pngquant.org/PNGoo.0.1.1.zip

This is actually quite awesome, I haven't had a chance to check it out yet but if it really does cut .png's down by 75%? hats off to you sir.. thanks for sharing

EDIT: I had a look and the website only converts png-24 to png-8 ... Most programs can do this, including photoshop. :)
This could be useful for many though..

Compressing pretty much means a loss of quality but thanks for the gesture :)

Oddly enough because it's not compressing it's converting to png-8.. so it's actually less available colors, and a non-optimized transparency "algorithm?" .. Most people won't see a difference in quality unless you are using crazy gradients/light effects :) or overlapping transparency layers..

Nevertheless YouTube still makes my channel bg 2x as bright as normal.. VERY frustrating.

It converts the image to only use web-based colours and vectors, with many colours this can cause a significant change.

Right, my point exactly.. Unless you are using crazy gradients you won't see a difference.. Well, you got me thinking now.. I guess you wouldn't want any "real life" image altered even in the slightest, so yeah.. I totally see your point, I was thinking simple GFX only as I never deal with "real life" images.. Thanks for the insight
