How To

Simply create a folder called Editor inside your Project window and add this script inside it. Then, open Window-Convert Textures to PNG, configure the parameters and hit "Convert to PNG!".

In my case, it has reduced the total filesize of some 3D assets from 1.08 GB to 510 MB.

As long as Keep Original Files is disabled or project's Asset Serialization Mode is set to Force Text, references to converted Textures will be preserved.

very useful, thanks for your work!

this is very useful and powerful, thanks for sharing :)

thanks, that is super useful
