best quality jpg and least compression png are still making a copy of a copy you lose quality every-time you re-compress the images. Try using a non-compreses starting image and see what happens.

    I was under the impression that PNGs use lossless compression?

      PNG is in fact lossless like gif, but you can turn down truecolor to 8Bit pallet. You could try using $image = GD::Image->newFromPng($file, [$truecolor]).
      The truecolor switch is new in GD 2.11, look here for more new things.
