JPEG Optimizer is one of the first solutions to check out if all you need is to compress JPEG images.
Most of us should be fine with the default compression of 65, though the website can compress images anywhere between 0-99. Using just the default setting, I was able to cut down the file size by 66%.
If you wish, you can also view EXIF data (time, date and camera make) and resize your images. And then go on to add effects like captions, borders or shadows. Once the tool compresses the image, you can download it and use it anywhere you need.
2. Tiny PNG
A trusted tool, Tiny PNG handles compression of both JPEG and PNG image formats with ease, letting you bulk upload up to 20 images in one go. Each file size can reach 5 MB. For larger files, you’ll have to be a paying customer.
After compression, images can be downloaded to your computer or saved to Dropbox. Tiny PNG also makes it easy for WordPress users with a free plugin. To compare image optimization plugins for WordPress, look up our earlier post.
3. Ezgif
Though the name might suggest otherwise, Ezgif is an all-purpose online image optimizer. You can use it to work on your GIFs, PNGs, and JPGs. Imaze Resizer
In the GIF department, Ezgif raises the bar to a new level. It lets you tinker about a lot with GIFs, including creating, resizing, cropping or optimizing them. You’ll be able to create GIFs using JPEG, PNG and other images, and upload up to 2,000 files, though there’s a cap on total size at 100MB.
Apart from that, the PNG and JPG optimization is pretty efficient as well. You can do some simple edits on your image before optimizing, too, like rotating, cropping, adding an overlay, and more. When it comes to the optimization itself, it’s quite good.
