Optimization options for GIF and PNG-8 formats
GIF is the standard format for compressing images with flat color and crisp detail, such as 
line art, logos, or illustrations with type. You can lower the size of GIF images by reducing 
the number of colors in the file. Like the GIF format, the PNG-8 format efficiently 
compresses solid areas of color while preserving sharp detail; however, not all Web 
browsers can display PNG-8 files. PNG-8 settings are very similar to the GIF settings.

Lossy (GIF only) Specify a Lossy value to allow for lossy compression. Lossy compression 
reduces file size by selectively discarding data—a higher Lossy setting results in more data 
being discarded. You can often apply a Lossy value of 5–10, and sometimes up to 50, 
without degrading the image. File size can often be reduced 5%–40% using the Lossy 
option. 
Note: You cannot use the Lossy option with the Interlaced option or with Noise or Pattern 
Dither algorithms.
Color Reduction Method and Colors Choose a method for generating a color table from 
the Color Reduction Method menu. (See 
.) Then 
specify the maximum number of colors in the Colors text box. If you choose Web for the 
color reduction method, the Auto option becomes active in the Colors pop-up menu. Use 
the Auto option if you want Illustrator to determine the number of colors in the color table 
based on the frequency of colors in the image.
Note: If the image contains fewer colors than the number specified, the color table will 
contain only the number of colors in the image. 
Dithering Method and Dither Choose a dithering method from the Dithering Method 
menu, and specify the amount of application dithering. Dithering refers to the method of 
simulating colors not available in the color display system of your computer. A higher 
dithering percentage creates the appearance of more colors and more detail in an image, 
but can also increase the file size. For optimal compression, use the lowest percentage of 
dither that provides the color detail you require. Images with primarily solid colors may 
work well with no dither. Images with continuous-tone color (especially color gradients) 
may require dithering to prevent color banding. Choose No dither or select an option in 
the Dithering Method menu:
Diffusion applies a random pattern that is usually less noticeable than Pattern dither. 
The dither effects are diffused across adjacent pixels.
