tristanyc Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 (edited) I'm not the most well rounded when it comes to graphic design and stuff like this and would to know more; I know that PNGs are higher quality than JPGs and I want the highest quality PNGs I can get. When I go to save a PNG it gives me the options bit depth, dithering level, and transparency threshold. I looked at old threads on this forum and people just said to leave it at auto detect, 7, and 128 but I didn't find anything about checking the interlaced option box. Should I keep it unchecked or checked? Thanks Edited February 26, 2021 by tristanyc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toe_head2001 Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Interlacing doesn't affect the quality. It just changes the way the image data is stored within the file, and thus, how the data is loaded. These days, with fast internet speeds, the image will load so quickly that you probably won't notice any difference between the two. And if you're not even using your image on the web, who cares? The choice is non-consequential. 1 (September 25th, 2023) Sorry about any broken images in my posts. I am aware of the issue.

The choice is non-consequential. What if you are using it on the web, or if you have a slow internet connection? Should you use interlacing then? And what does it actually do? I think it loads a lower quality version of the image before replacing it with the proper one, but I'm not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
