Need a good image optimizer

SheepGuy · 2007-07-29, 01:57 AM

I don't need it to resize, just optimize jpg's. I need it for a very large site so it has to be able to batch pretty quickly.
Any reccomendations?
I have fireworks but for the life of me I can't figure out how to batch it so it doesn't resize as well. Then again I'm no expert with fireworks

i was also looking. Several years ago, there was this little program some guy made that would create tables, make thumbs and resize, as well as optimizing in large batches. Since coming back, for the life of me i cant seem to find it.

I found others that only make thumbs and resize but don't optimize.

I am currently using photoshop to optimize individual pics lol.

Not sure how good it is by others' standards, but I use it for my freesites when I don't need photoshop. It optimizes with or without resizing, seems to work quite quickly, you can preview your images, and it's free & simple to use:
