Yesterday, I listened to the most recent Mac Power Users episode , “20 Mac Apps Under $20.” Although MPU is probably best known for its deep dive episodes, I always like these more rapid-fire discussions. As usual, this one has a good mix of apps that are new to me and those I already know about. 1 One of Stephen’s picks is ImageOptim (discussion starts at 1:00:50), an app I use all the time but haven’t talked about here.
As suggested by its name, ImageOptim optimizes images by reducing their file size. It doesn’t resize an image in the sense of changing its width or height in pixels. What ImageOptim leaves you with is an image that takes up less space on your disk; it doesn’t take up less space on your screen.
