# Optimize as PNG‑24

PNG‑24 format is suitable for compressing photographs. However, PNG‑24 files are often much larger than JPEG files of the same image. PNG‑24 format is recommended only when you work with an image that includes multiple levels of partial transparency.

1. Open an image and choose File > Save For Web.
2. Choose PNG‑24 for the optimization format.
3. Select Interlaced to create an image that is displayed at low-resolution in a browser while the full-resolution image is downloading. Interlacing can make downloading time seem shorter and gives viewers feedback that downloading is in progress.
4. If the image contains transparency, select Transparency to preserve transparent pixels; deselect Transparency to fill fully and partially transparent pixels with the Matte color.
5. To save your optimized image, click OK. In the Save Optimized As dialog box, type a filename, and click Save.
