   Best tool to make images smaller or to figure out the right setting for batch work

   The only negative thing about this web app, is that it's not clear which formats are supported in which browsers.

• Random Code Inspiration Volume 2

  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.

• keeping collection size down (for ankiweb) when needing lots of image cards/notes

  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: 11 months ago

• screen capture/snapshot utility with image optimization support/configurability

  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: 11 months ago

• Exported png image with color-to-alpha edit is huge

  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: about 1 year ago
