# Yes, because pngs don't really compress much.
I think this would've made a good .gif.

# yes
Images with large areas of flat color and small palettes are ideal for GIF due to the method of compression used

# Thanks for replies
I noticed a link to a 'vectorizing' site earlier and thought I'd give it a go. You get four tokens to buy four images to start then you pay. It is woeful but I truly thought gif was only ever used for animations till I discovered Smirnoff er b3ta, I mean. I'll learn. Soon. Perhaps. Maybe.

# Erk
With a palette that small, your conversion program shouldn't be putting dots all in it. It should be able to provide a palette which matches better.

# Ta for that
the conversion was clutter free until I got my grubbies on it. Buggered if I know what I did/am doing. I downloaded it as various file types that I had never heard of before - scaleable vecto-mountains and such like - and arse-fannied around till I got something of a reasonable size but obviously degraded the poor wee soul in the process(es). Jesus! I am talking shite.

# PNG can compress better than GIF
but it's much slower, because you have to read an entire wikipedia page every time you want to compress an image.
