imageoptim

ImageOptim optimizes images — so they take up less disk space and load faster — by finding best compression parameters and by removing unnecessary comments and color profiles. It handles PNG, JPEG and GIF animations. ImageOptim seamlessly integrates various optimisation tools: PNGOUT, AdvPNG, Pngcrush, extended OptiPNG, JpegOptim, jpegrescan, jpegtran, and Gifsicle. It's excellent for publishing images on the web (easily shrinks images “Saved for Web” in Photoshop) and also useful for making Mac and iPhone/iPad applications smaller (see Xcode warning). How to use it Simply drag'n'drop images or folders into the window! You can also drop files on ImageOptim's Dock icon or launch it from shell scripts with: open -a ImageOptim.app *.png. If you install this system service you can run ImageOptim from Finder's context menu.
