pngquant VS imgix

Image-shrinker is a simple, easy to use open source tool for shrinking images. Under the hood it uses pngquant, mozjpg, SVGO, and gifsicle. You can also install these tools individually if you need to compress some images. I often use pngquantafter exporting PNGs for web projects from Figma or similar tools. I literally run it like this:. - Source: dev.to / 8 months ago

Searching more I found https://pngquant.org/ which I could add to my bulk workflow to make most png's approach the jpeg size. Source: 12 months ago

But this did prompt me to do some searching, and I see https://pngquant.org/ which seems to achieve jpeg like size reduction while maintaining the file as a png. One difference they note is that this method will typically preserve sharp edges better than jpeg (which is probably a strong plus for my type of use case). Source: 12 months ago

Pngquant is also great for shaving filesizes down, but unlike oxipng, it's explicitly lossy. It'll reduce colors and even dither, but it will try to keep an image visually similar. Https://pngquant.org/. Source: over 1 year ago

The Unsplash Image API enables limitless API requests, providing developers with the freedom to incorporate images into their apps without speed or quota restrictions. Leveraging Imgix, a sophisticated image processing service, it allows real-time modification of image dimensions and quality directly via URL parameters, facilitating client-side image transformations without extra API calls. - Source: dev.to / 5 months ago

I'm not sure if you have budget for this but companies like https://imgix.com/ and https://supabase.com/docs/guides/storage/serving/image-transformations let you do image transforms on the fly through url query params. Most of them can resize, crop, compress, and transform to webp. Source: 5 months ago

I know that imgix.com provides an API for image manipulations. There may be others. Source: about 1 year ago

I use ImgIX for a long time now. Very satisfied. Https://imgix.com. Source: over 1 year ago

I would highly recommend using Imgix as another image CDN. The free tier is insanely generous. Source: over 1 year ago
