Solvium Image Optimizer

Descrição

Solvium Image Optimizer (IO) is a desktop application that can help you to optimize, compress, convert and resize image files easy and convenient. The program currently supports three basic formats of web graphics: .PNG, .JPEG and .GIF and uses only the best and proven techniques for file size reduction. With a full set of options you can choose your own way to optimizing images: fast or thorough, lossless or lossy, with resizing or not and much more.

Images optimization and compression can help in many ways:

• Improve loading times and speed of your web pages, e-mail newsletters or WordPress blogs
• Boost your grade in tools, that analyzes page’s speed performance
• With the small images you will get faster backups
• Achieve a greater ranking in the search engines because your site is loading faster
• Reduce the final size of your themes or templates, desktop or web UI, iOS or Android apps
• Save valuable space on your hard drive or hosting, decrease the bandwidth usage
• Bring the user experience to a new level

Current version: 1.2.0

Please, report all bugs and issues and they will be fixed in the new version. You can also ask to add new features.

Main Features

• Batch processing
• No restrictions on max file size (unlike web services)
• Two-step file size reduction: optimization + compression
• PNG: RGB color space cleaning, palette optimization, best choice of colortype, bit depth reduction, quantization, etc.
• JPEG: lossless or lossy results with compression, stripping of all unnecessary metadata
• GIF: animated gifs support, stripping excessive transparency
• Resizing with custom resolutions and selectable filters, cropping and thumbnailing
• Image format converting with further optimization
• Works with network mapped hard drives
• Backup existing files, save original timestamp, export files to external folder
• Options to choose optimization strategy, compression level and final quality
• Save a text report after each optimization
• Lifelong updates and support
• More features in future
• Detailed help file

Complete List of Features

• No restrictions on max file size: unlike the most web services that limit the size of files and take a subscription fee
• Batch processing: you can drag and drop files from any place of your computer and optimize them at once
• Two-step file size reduction: optimization plus compression
  • Optimization will try to organize the palette in your image, makes automatic selection of the optimal format, uses advanced heuristics for filters.
  • Compression will try to use advanced compression algorithm to reduce the file size even more, and what important AFTER optimization, so you achieve the best possible results.

  • Ability to choose 1 of 4 resizing methods:
    • Fit to box: New image will fit into the requested size. Width and height will be calculated based on your settings.
    • Constrain proportions: Resizing will be based on the smallest fitting dimension and preserved original aspect ratio. Width and height will be calculated based on your settings.
    • Crop: Crop image and align to center. Good for making thumbnails.
    • Exact: Shrink or enlarge image if it necessary, but not constrain proportions.
  • Ability to set output filename by patterns and generate all sizes of thumbnails at once (for WordPress for example):
    • If the original filename for example, background.jpg and you will resize it to 1024×768 and use pattern [{width}x{height}] – {filename}{ext} then the new resized filename will be [1024×768] – background.jpg.
• Export files to external folder or overwrite them
• Image format converting with further optimization
• Works with network mapped hard drives
• Backup existing files: you can make a copy of the every file that going to be optimized
• Save original timestamp: copy date and time of creation from original file to optimized filed
• Save a text report after each optimization
• Main window can work in compact mode, where advanced options is hided
• Longlife updates and support with new functions in future
• Detailed help file
