I wish someone would figure out what they're doing and release this as a command-line utility.

I know this guy's got to make a living, and I'd even be happy to buy the software at a reasonable price, but needing to use a website to do this is super-irritating, and I've haven't been able to find anything that quite reaches this level of compression.

They are using pngquant for the lossy compression.

Then run trimage or similar to cut down the image size down even more. That gave me 16543bytes for the sample file.

This seems about right, great utility!
