Don't you just hate it when these digital idiots present charts,

compression is not suitable for charts, graphs, and text.  But that
doesn't stop the digital idiots.

Where the assumption is that because PNG is lossless, absence of compression artifacts is more noticeable in cartoonish graphics, so its worth the trade of larger file sizes.

 Now I know you're an anti-Linux troll.

Feeb's merely just a decade or so behind the times...

There's no way you don't know about ImageMagick.
 ImageMagick-im6.q16(General Commands ManuImageMagick-im6.q16(1)
 NAME
        ImageMagick - is a free software suite for the creation,
        modification and display of bitmap images.
 SYNOPSIS
        convert-im6.q16 input-file [options] output-file
 OVERVIEW
        Use ImageMagick® to create, edit,  compose,  or  convert
        bitmap images. It can read and write images in a variety
        of formats (over 200) including PNG,  JPEG,  GIF,  HEIC,
        TIFF,  DPX,  EXR,  WebP,  Postscript,  PDF, and SVG. Use
        ImageMagick to resize, flip,  mirror,  rotate,  distort,
        shear  and  transform images, adjust image colors, apply
        various special effects, or draw text, lines,  polygons,
        ellipses and B\['e]zier curves.
         The  functionality  of ImageMagick is typically utilized
        from the command-line or you can use the  features  from
        programs  written in your favorite language. Choose from
        these interfaces: G2F (Ada), MagickCore (C),  MagickWand
        (C),  ChMagick  (Ch), ImageMagickObject (COM+), Magick++
        (C++), JMagick (Java), JuliaIO (Julia), L-Magick (Lisp),
        Lua  (LuaJIT),  NMagick  (Neko/haXe), Magick.NET (.NET),
        PascalMagick (Pascal), PerlMagick (Perl), MagickWand for
        PHP  (PHP), IMagick (PHP), PythonMagick (Python), magick
        (R), RMagick (Ruby), or TclMagick (Tcl/TK). With a  lan‐
        guage interface, use ImageMagick to modify or create im‐
        ages dynamically and automagically.

My distro has version 6.  I see now that there is a version 7:
     https://imagemagick.org/
)

Nice to see that it supports HEIC.
