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

@fede_nelli1 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.

@vmdanilov 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 😪

@ange_du_soir 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.

@vmdanilov Great :)

@ange_du_soir @vmdanilov 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. https://imageoptim.com/mac

@ben_roe 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!
Jordan Winick
@iammarkoradak It has PDF support!
Marko Radak
@jordan_winick In that case, might be me, but preferences are not that clear...

@mgganesh 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.

Super

🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

Pros:

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

Cons:

None so far!

@jshwrnr i am also using imageoptim, what about the quality? Does it decrease the quality?
Andy Chu

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?

@dj_chris_purple No, but it's possible. I plan to make a universal CLI tool first.

The first image I tried was increased in size...

@adamhuet 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.
Adam Huet
@vmdanilov I sent you an email. Thanks
