will anybody help us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :cry:

png's are only really good for block colours. your sig has got loads of colours in it. a png is not suitable for it.

 

 

 

a jpeg is the idea file type for your miage but you are just trying to save in too low a quality. download "gimp" (search google) and you will be able to set compression rates to save

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The left image is a png and the right is a jpg on high quality. they look the same but one is less than 2kb and one is 32kb

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here is a photograph using many colours. png is on the left and jpg on the right. note how much smaller the jpg is in this case.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You just need to understand the different file types and their uses.

Downloading the Gimp just for compressing an image is a bit much :P

Etrosoft has a free image converter,

It also has a batch image converting ability. Add the files you want converted, go to settings and set what you want them to come out as (jpg at 100%) and click start.
