its not possible to do this for pngs. Most likely though chrome is just using a quicker downscaling algorithm than your graphics editor is using (or just the wrong one. There is no universally correct algorithm, different ones work better for different image types).

Have you tried adjusting the image-rendering css property?

I can’t recall the details any more, but I recall seeing something like this in my research on the issue, it might have been a solution to the issue, or I was worried it had a noticeable performance impact.

We may also have moved to the SVGs anyway as they also look much nicer when running at different zoom levels like 125%.
