About ImageOptim
ImageOptim is a free, open-source Mac application that batch-compresses images by combining best-in-class tools including MozJPEG, pngquant, Pngcrush, SVGO, and Google Zopfli. It strips invisible metadata such as EXIF data and embedded thumbnails, supports lossy compression for PNG, GIF, and SVG in addition to JPEG, and overwrites files in place — no new files are created. It integrates with macOS via Finder Services, Dock icon drops, and Apple Mail attachments.
