Optimize your image files and reduce their size in order to publish them online, or to include them in emails, with the help of this minimalist OS X application. #Optimize image #Reduce file size #Compress image #Optimize #Reduce #Compress
Publishing large image files online, or sharing them with others by email can prove to be problematic since most email servers have restrictions put in place, and online storage space is usually limited.
Squash is an unsophisticated image compression and optimization tool designed to address this issue: just drag and drop the images you want to optimize, and the app takes care of the rest.
Even though Squash does not come with any kind of documentation, during our test we have noticed that the application can reduce only the size of JPG and PNG image files. You can import other types of files, but Squash will not be able to decrease the file size at all.
So all you have to do is drag and drop the JPG and PNG image files on top of the Squash main window, and the optimization and compression process will launch automatically.
The Squash utility integrates batch processing capabilities, so you can even import multiple files at the same time. A minimalist progress bar allows you to monitor the process, and when everything is done, you can see how much space has been saved.
When dealing with large image collections, reducing the files sizes even with a couple of kilobytes can lead to freeing up a significant amount of storage space.
Squash is able to optimize the images without affecting the photo’s quality, so you can successfully use it to make more room for new pictures.
However, take into consideration that Squash works directly on the original image file and does not provide any reversal options: make sure that you backup you files beforehand to preserve the originals.
