Uses industry standard tools to optimize any JPEG, PNG and Gifs - including animated Gifs. It can do both lossy and lossless optimization.
Adds a right-click menu to any folder and image in Solution Explorer that let's you automatically optimize all PNG, GIF and JPEG files in that folder.
- Optimizes PNGs (uses Zopfli compression)
- Optimizes GIFs
- Optimizes animated GIFs
- Optimizes JPGs (uses MozJPEG)
- Works on single images files or entire folders
- Copy any image as base64 dataURI to clipboard
Simply right-click any file or folder containing images and click one of the image optimization buttons.
You can also right-click a folder to optimize all images inside it.
If you chose lossless optimization, the tool will do its optimizations without changing the quality of the image.
The lossy optimization option can make the images a whole lot smaller and almost keep the same quality level as the original.
The Output Window shows the detailed output from the optimization process.
