It takes 67 bytes to make one black pixel. How does it work?

    Interesting read! The follow-up about the biggest smallest PNG goes even more in depth about compression and produces a 1x2064 pixel PNG with just 67 bytes.

    Extrapolating from this, a 3840x2160 image must be in the hundreds of megabytes!

      Presumably that’s what the compression is for.

      Here the compression makes it 4 times bigger.
