One time I had some images for buttons for users to click on, and they looked bright and sharp on a Mac's Preview app, and on some other graphics apps on the PC, but when it was displayed on Chrome on a Mac, the color became dull. Someone suggested it was due to "color profile" in the image, but is there a way to remove it, if PhotoShop is not available to me and I have to rely on bundled or freeware tools on the Mac or the PC?

If you're interested in working with color profiles with free software, GIMP does that. In their documentation, you can find background info on color management, enabling color management, and customizing color management. I did some digging, though, and it turns out that this is a known issue for Chrome. According to the issue ticket, it's been an issue for two years! |

If you're working on a Mac I suggest ImageOptim. It optimizes your PNG and removes all colorprofiles and unnecessary stuff. Win/win situation. On a windows machine try PNGcrush |
