July 5, 2009

ImageOptim 1.2

ImageOptim is a front-end (GUI) for set of tools for optimisation of PNG and JPEG images.

Optimisation makes files smaller (in terms of disk space) by finding optimal compression parameters and by removing unneccessary information, like file comments, EXIF tags and color profiles.

WHAT’S NEW
Version 1.2

  • Leaner and more stable thanks to new Leopard APIs.
  • Can handle order of magnitude more files at once.
  • Avoids writing many files to disk at the same time.
  • Checks actual file type rather than rely on filename extension.
  • PNGOUT may be gracefully stopped if takes too much time to optimize.
  • Temporary files are cleaned up on exit.
  • Errors during optimisations don’t slow down or lock up ImageOptim.

REQUIREMENTS
Mac OS X 10.5 or later.
