What Is a Reduce Number of Image Colors?

A Reduce Number of Image Colors tool is a software feature that simplifies an image by limiting the total number of distinct colors used, typically through a process called color quantization. This can be particularly useful for optimizing images for web use or reducing file size without significantly compromising visual quality. Use cases include preparing images for social media posts where high-resolution files are not necessary, or compressing large graphics to speed up loading times on websites. The benefits of using such tools include smaller file sizes, faster image rendering, and the ability to maintain a consistent color scheme across multiple designs.
