These changes have now completed. Feel free to review the announcement for all details related to this change in how Twitter handles PNG images now.
This thread includes specific details on how these changes impact uploaded PNGs, including an infographic:
Keep in mind, most Twitter clients will continue uploading images as JPEGs. twitter.com and mobile.twitter.com are the primary ways to upload PNGs.
Try PNG8 now that we support it! It is limited to 256 colors, but matches JPEG in file size and is lossless.

Perfect for many illustrations, infographics, pixel art, text screenshots and black & white images.

Try tinypng.com or export w/ Photoshop as PNG 8-bit
We will continue to work to improve image quality while preserving performance.

Feedback and suggestions always welcome. Many items we have to investigate come from users that care. Thank you for caring!
