I don't want to sound rude, but based on the title, I understand that this has something to do with PNG files.
It might be worth putting a bit more details there.

> LodePNG is a PNG image decoder and encoder, all in one, no dependency or linkage to zlib or libpng required. It's made for C (ISO C90), and has a C++ wrapper with a more convenient interface on top.
Or you mean the title here in HN? That's an unfortunate consequence of the "keep titles verbatim" rule.
Show HN: tool
vs
Show HN: tool (fancy cross-platform XYZ processor)
With that many number of tools being released and advertised I really think that second one is way more informative, while still being verbatim.
I fear that you're misunderstanding the rule a little. There's nothing wrong with including an explanatory phrase from a subtitle, or from the introductory sentence of the page, which is often a de facto subtitle. (We added that when we saw this title earlier today). What we're strict about avoiding is submitters rewriting titles to make their own point about the content, rather than preserving what the author wrote.
