PngOptimizer

PngOptimizer might seem to some a misleading name. It's not about the optimization part, but rather because this particular program is compatible with other formats too. What it actually does is rid any PNG, GIF, BMP, or TGA file of useless bits and pieces of information or data that is not relevant to that particular file. In other words, it cleans your images up in order for them to open faster and occupy less space on your drive.

The fact that this application is rather simple to use means that it will allow any user to actually enjoy its features. In fact, if you're one of those individuals who take photos all the time, then you'll be glad to use this app, as it will probably shave some bytes from your storage drive. Simply drag and drop one or more images into the app's window. Batch processing is supported.

In terms of adjustable options, this program does offer the user some choices. One can use a temporary directory or set up a specifically designated one. You can also choose to compress pictures to the max. The application even warns you of potential side effects if doing so. In terms of ease of use, this app couldn't have done more.

PNG options are specific image-determined settings. These too can be adjusted by any individual using the app. You can back up old PNG images, and have them easily identified by using a naming pattern. Keep interlacing, avoid gray tones, and ignore animated GIFs are some of the other potential choices. One can also remove the background coloring of an image or adjust it. Textual data and physical pixel dimensions can also be altered or removed.

PngOptimizer is an application that might serve any user that is a fan of photography. Don't be fooled by this small app. It does pack a punch when it comes to clearing your images of useless baggage that will only take up space. Add to this the portability factor of the app, and you're probably convinced already of the good you can do using it.
