Some png tools I use

- [pngpaste](https://github.com/jcsalterego/pngpaste) -- `pngpaste > thefile.png` -- Paste PNG into files, much like pbpaste does for text.
- [pngquant](https://pngquant.org) --  is a command-line utility and [a library](https://pngquant.org/lib) for lossy compression of PNG images. The conversion reduces file sizes significantly (often as much as 70%) and preserves **full alpha transparency**. I used to use `pngcrush` before for the same.
