Image compression tool - smush.it

Although broadband speeds are increasing and the Government proposes 2MBPS for everyone, it doesn't do any harm to compact the files that you want people to see online.


A great tool available for image compression is smush.it. You install it, direct it to your site's images either by uploading or providing URLS and it outputs your smaller images in a zip telling you how much data has been saved.

In fact, a great article in .net issue 192 offers advice and incite into the whole topic of web compression and features smush.it.
