This is cool! Can you tell me how it differs from ImageOptim which is free?

In short, lossless compression is 5-15% better, it's more careful with Exif, color profiles and sensitive metadata. Lossy compression is better or worse depending on the image content. The difference is visual quality. Optimage has not failed yet in the tests, while ImageOptim failed in over 50% of cases. Optimage uses maximum error while ImageOptim uses average error for image quality assessment, meaning local error can be anything, colors negated, etc. You can find the detailed comparison on the website, the link is attached above. Also, Optimage can compress more formats including WebP, HEIC, APNG, MP4, WebM, ICO, ICNS - over 20 in total, with high-quality resizing and conversion, and that's not all.
Thanks for your explanation, definitely will take Optimage for a ride!

This is the tool I always wanted but could find anywhere, so I had to build it myself. Finally, it is (almost) everything there is for image optimization. Hope you like it! You can use PH30 promocode to get 30% off.
On Mac only 😪

Other platforms will come eventually. That was the goal since the beginning but I had to choose one to perfect. There is some progress, but it is too early to say when.
Great :)
Good news, I'd love to pick this up but mainly need it for PC. Good image compression apps in that space are slim pickings. You'd definitely stand out!
Why not use Imageoptim? It’s free for Mac and has a web api.
Maker
ImageOptim does not provide automatic image compression because image quality is completely unpredictable. There is a huge gap between automatic and semi-automatic with manual tweaking.
Amazing! You should add PDF support as well!
It has PDF support!
In that case, might be me, but preferences are not that clear...
Can i use it with wordpress?

You can use Transmit Disk to connect to your server and optimize images in the mounted folder. I have some ideas on how to make it even easier.

🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

Pros:

Has a higher reduction rate than the previous app I was using (ImageOptim).

Cons:

None so far!

i am also using imageoptim, what about the quality? Does it decrease the quality?

Favorite use cases are to strip out metadata (location stuff usually), and get mockups ready for decks so that it doesn't take forever to load.

Pros:

It's the perfect specialized tool that you don't need it often, but when you do need, it's perfect for its use case.

Cons:

None that I can think of.

interesting. do you provide an API so I can use it as a service when our users upload a file for our app?
Maker
No, but it's possible. I plan to make a universal CLI tool first.
The first image I tried was increased in size...
Maker
Can you share the image, so I can investigate and fix if there is an issue? You can find the email on the website. There are a number of cases when it may happen, e.g. color conversion. In that case there are two choices, either leave the image without the requested modifications or modify it as requested. Optimage chooses the latter for critical formats because they may contain sensitive metadata.
I sent you an email. Thanks
