PNG is practically made for gradients. I can't find the file, but there's an image of every single color that PNG can support in the full opacity range, and the whole file was like 32k after pngcrush.
If I understand correctly, this tool is basically intelligently selecting a palette (which was a historically supported feature of the PNG format) and then using that on the image. Has anyone tested to see if pngcrush can shrink the filesize even further?
To the creator: have you considered supporting more than an 8-bit palette? Like, a 2-bit palette or other that happens to be better for this particular image?

Like, a 2-bit palette or other that happens to be better for this particular image? the plan was to stick with a native, supported and easy to understand format. it was never about absolute filesize. filesize crunching should be handled afterwards via RLE, deflate or other output-format specific encoding trickery, etc.
