Is any bad point to use images comprehension software's?

[Rajinder S. GIll]

Hello,

I was just reducing the images size of all my website images, but suddenly I got few question in mind –

1. Should we use this?
2. Is this good for all browser, I mean it will compatible with all browser?
3. Whats is the best way to radius images size with best quality and best size?
4. Any losses of this?

Thanks

You should compress .png files. They have a lot of meta data bloat. I don’t believe in lossless .jpg compression. I think it’s bull.

@JoshWhite, there’s a number of different ways

1. Use a service such as Kraken or Smush.it

Note: If you’re using a CMS, there’s probably a plugin you can use that’ll handle all of the handshaky bits between these and your media.

1. If you’re Grunting or Gulping, there’s plenty of imagemin style plugins out there. More config and tinkering required though.

2. Use a GUI based tool / editor extension ala: CodeKit, Prepros, etc.

That’s all I’ve messed around with. There’s probably plenty more out there.

What do you compress your PNG files with?

PNG files can lose a LOT of weight.

I’ve even seen bash scripts on Github that will do this for you. That’s really bad ass because you can set it and forget it.
