#Png compressor install

Update: Somebody made an automator workflow that you can download and install just by double clicking it. But we can automate that whole process so you’ll not have to open the browser by using Mac Automator. I’ve updated the script.Įspecially when you start dealing with many files the browser-solution quickly becomes tedious. Update: Thanks to a comment from Ingo the service now also works with JPG files.

This service performs even a little bit better. Will pointed out an alternative png compressor by in the comments. Performance: 329KB reduced to 145KB (–56%) It does not get easier than this.ĭisadvantage: The workflow is slow for a whole set of pictures, you can’t download the whole set after compression. Well you need to download the file afterwards. Drag and Drop the image onto the hungry panda, done. Fire up your browser and head over to TinyPNG. This one is so easy it almost doesn’t need an explanation. Browser-Beginner: The not every-day-solution
