One of the nicer things about JPEGmini is that it not only allows you to sign up using an existing Facebook account (as so many sites do now) but also allows you to sign up with an existing GMail account, which is a nice alternative for those who want fast and easy sign up and login. JPEGmini also allows you to work straight from the web without downloading or signing up but the best way to use it is to create an account for free.

JPEGmini: Free and easy, organized and pleasing. There’s a more advanced version that requires you to sign up with an email address, which will allow you to work with up to 15 images and a max size of 150KB each and still costs nothing. It runs using Flash, so you’ll need that installed (which most systems already have) and works with JPG, GIF and PNG extensions, which is up to the standards for most web sites.
FREEWARE IMAGE COMPRESSION SOFTWARE INSTALL
I recommend it to anyone (a web designer, for instance) that has small images they want compressed even more for a web site or other project, but don’t want to install anything on their computer to do so. PUNYpng may have a pretty funny name (try saying it five times fast) and a cute cartoon mouse on the splash page, but there’s nothing hilarious about being able to compress your image files without even downloading or signing up for anything, and it will allow you to shrink up to 10 image files, with a maximum of 100KB each.

In most cases the loss was negligible, not even noticeable by the average naked eye.
The resulting list will help you figure out which is the best for your needs, as they are all similar but with differences that can make a difference for your particular situation and requirements.Įach of these tools made it on my list because they had excellent ‘loss’ ratios, which means that there was very little loss of clarity in the image results. With that goal in mind, I went on a hunt for the absolute best free compression tools.
