gollark: Also running `optipng` over some image files I had, which can mildly reduce their size.
gollark: Neither, unless you count "running imagemagick" as A.
gollark: Video compression is very cool, though. It's basically how we have DVDs and streaming services and YouTube.
gollark: I guess so.
gollark: Videos aren't actually as big as equivalent image sequences because of very clever compression algorithms like H.264, VP9 and AV1, but still very large, especially 4K and such.
