This sure beats opening the GIMP all the time just to compress a JPG, and teaching our content writers how to use the command line to compress images with a CLI utility. Always did like TinyPNG, so I'm glad to see this too.



I use IrfanView on Windows most of the time. It's small so it starts up pretty fast and changing quality is a few short clicks away (most of the time the options on the save dialog are enough). I don't even have to upload it to somebody I don't know, it works offline too and I even managed to teach it to my mother (she uses the batch tool now). So it can't be that hard.


Hide the CLI utility by running it at the end of the 'deploy' phase.
