ImageOptim is a front-end (GUI) for set of tools for optimisation of PNG and JPEG images.
Optimisation makes files smaller (in terms of disk space) by finding optimal compression parameters and by removing unneccessary information, like file comments, EXIF tags and color profiles.
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 applications smaller (just make sure you use PNG not TIFF!)
ImageOptim uses:
To take advantage of PNGOUT you have to download it and set its path in ImageOptim's preferences, because license of PNGOUT forbids bundling of it with other applications.
