== Compression with png images ==
The FAQ says pngs are preferred over gifs because they have a smaller file size. This is true, but the page is notably lacking any mention that non-animated png images can often be very poorly compressed by the program that generated them. I think there ought to be some guidelines, particularly with regard to anime screenshots, instructing uploaders on how to use various tools such as OptiPNG and AdvanceCOMP before uploading a file.
For reference, I've taken a sampling of some recently added anime images and recompressed them:

I can write up a guide if this is something we want to add. --[[User:GARY-DOS|GARY-DOS]] ([[User talk:GARY-DOS|talk]]) 21:50, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
