ImageOptim (mac), smush.it - compress images
Probably many of you know that Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Fireworks compress images not optimally and after cutting the layout in Photoshop (Fireworks), images can be shrunk in most cases. On average, additional compression without losing the quality of a small site can save 10 kilobytes, let alone all sorts of photo galleries or sites with lots of graphics. A lot, especially on high-load projects! There are quite a few console programs for compressing images without losing quality, and it is rather inconvenient to work through the console, and this takes time of the developer. About a month ago I came across a program called ImageOptim .
It drives images through console image optimizers (AdvPNG from AdvanceCOMP, OptiPNG, PngCrush, JpegOptim, Jpegtran from libjpeg and optionally PNGOUT) and selects the best algorithm for compression, and most importantly it has a very convenient visual interface. Simply drag and drop an image or a folder with images into the ImageOptim window and that's it. Unfortunately, the program is designed to work only with png and jpg formats and does not support gif.

I hasten to upset Windows users, there is only a version of the program for Mac. Those who use Windows, can pay attention to the service smush.it - this is an online graphics optimizer, there is also an extension for Firefox. One of the advantages of the service over ImageOptim is the ability to optimize animated gif.
