: Photoshop makes PNG low quality I just open a PNG image and save it again, but Photoshop make my image low quality. How can I solve this problem? Original pic : Saved pic:

If you use an old version of Photoshop, like me, you can choose 'save for web' and choose PNG24. If you require a smaller file, you can use tinyPNG. This will give you the same result as the PS CC export. :-)

You need to save you image as a 32 bit PNG. When saving your PNG from Photoshop, make sure you select 'PNG-24' with transparency checked (the missing 8 bits from the 32 bit PNG you need).

PNG-8 (in Photoshop) only supports 1-bit transparency, which means every pixel is either transparent or not, which is why you get the jagged edges.



According to this post on SuperUser you can save a PNG-8 with full alpha transparency if you use Export instead of Save for Web, but I don't have CC to check. In CS6 your stuck with using PNG-24 or the 1-bit transparency.

Oh. Do not save your png as 8 bit image, save it as 32 bit image. That uses a alpha channel to make the transparency smooth.

The option you choose (just 8 bit) makes thoose jaggy borders.
