A few days ago we informed you that our homepage has shrunk by 80% and is getting smaller so you can load data from it as quickly as possible Letem svetem Applem. In addition to reducing the source code and removing everything, the ImageOptim application also helps us in optimization, which can reduce the size of images by up to 90% without a visible loss of quality. Let's take a look at how you can speed up not only your website, but also the loading of disk images on your Macintosh.
ImageOtim simply takes your PNG, JPEG or GIF images and finds the best possible compression parameters, while also removing unnecessary comments and unused color profiles. Thanks to this, it is possible to reduce the size of the photo by up to 90%. All our images on the server Letem svetem Applem they went through ImageOptim and we managed to reduce the size of all files from 892MB to less than 600MB, which you can already tell when loading the web pages. Furthermore, ImageOtim provides a GUI for various other optimization tools: AdvPNG from AdvanceCOMP, OptPNG, PngCrush, JpegOptim, Gifsicle and optional PNGOUT.
ImageOptim works very simply, just drag the files you want to reduce into the application window. A certain disadvantage may be that the current image is overwritten, but a new one is not created. It goes without saying that it is possible to set the quality the program should preserve for photos, for individual file types.
Thanks to Roman's tip, I've been using it for a week now and I can more than recommend it. The program is carried in absolute Mac simplicity, so there is no need to drag and drop. I recommend making a copy of the folder with images and dragging it all over so that you don't accidentally overwrite the sources as Roman writes at the end of the article.
Hi, is there something similar on PC?
Try looking at http://trimage.org/ (on the ImageOption website it's a link: "Not using Mac? Check out Trimage"
Very handy application, thank you for the tip and description of the function.
