Best keeps PNG lossless, so it will barely shrink. Try High.
One megabyte is the usual ceiling for email attachments and document uploads, and it is loose enough that a full resolution photo can pass it without any visible change at all. Most files only need a single save at high quality to get there.
Good for
- Email attachments with a total size limit
- Uploading several photos to a form at once
- Cloud storage that charges by the gigabyte
- Sharing camera photos over a slow connection
