PNG vs PNG save for web

Hello everyone

every 2 Months or so I get tones of assets from a partner in china. Those assets are not so big but very heavy and make Photoshop and Indesign very slow. The only thing that makes them lighter is the format PNG 24 in "save for web". Normal "Save as..." PNG leaves the assets still very heavy. What is wrong with those assets? what is the different between those tow ways of compressing?

I need those assets actually in TIFF. that’s why «save for web» is not the best solution for me..

Thanks for the help

It sounds like they have an excessive amount of metadata.

Export strips all metadata.

Metadata bloat can happen if they have been copy/pasted ad infinitum (like a template). Every paste will inherit metadata from its parent, and add its own.

Thanks D Fosse

Is there a direct way to erase those metadata - without the "Save for Web" option? because my assets are in TIFF and should stay like this...

Hi. Maybe you need to check the size of your images. Try using the images at 100%: if you need an image in InDesign at 800*600 px set that same size in Photoshop. Also, when you save tiff files, you have compression options.

The image size are OK. Other Assets in that size are 90% less MB weight
