imagemin-app

When it comes to optimizing or minifying images, it is safe to say that there is no shortage of applications to choose from. From very simple and intuitive ones all the way up to full-features image converters, editors or optimizers, shrinking images is really not that difficult.

While it may not be challenging, when working with large numbers of photos or imagines, the optimization can become a very time-consuming process.

imagemin-app a ultra-minimalist application that is designed with only one purpose in mind: to provide you with the easiest way to minify imagines.

You can start using imagemin-app right away, as the app does not require any type of installation process, just unpack the archive and double click on the executable to launch it.

Upon making first eye contact, you are met by a compact and stripped-down main window. Basically, there aren't any features that need to be explained here, as you only need to drag and drop one or multiple photos onto imagemin-app's main window and the utility takes care of everything on its own.

At this point, you should know that the application bundles the following plugins that can compress GIFs, JPG images, PNG images and SVG images namely, gifsicle, jpegtran, options and svgo.

The shrinkage process is swift and all the optimized files are automatically stored in a folder named "optimized", in the same location as the original photos. Subsequent to the optimization process, the utility displays a message with the total number of optimized files and the total amount of space saved.

Taking all of the above into careful consideration, imagemin-app is a very useful and very efficient, little piece of software that can help you optimize scores of files with the least amount of effort.

Sure, it would have been nice if the app would provide options to control the percentage of the optimization process or other more advanced features, but, in a strange way, that would defeat the app's primary purpose: to be extremely straightforward and efficient.
