Best texture compression: TinyPNG + Unity sprite Packer?

Question

Hello,

I would like to reduce the size of the game so I would like to compress images. What is the best method?

I don't know actually if this method could work because Unity converts all textures.

You didn't specify what platform you're building for. Unity will re-compress textures when they're imported, so tinypng won't help.

Make sure the texture sizes are a power of two.
Instead of 16bit format, use a compressed format such as DXT.
Reduce the size of the textures where the quality is still acceptable. e.g. Particle textures don't need to be 2048, and probably no one will notice a difference if it's smaller.
Disable mipmaps if they're not being used.
