Hi there,

Does anyone know of any good FREE tools that I can use to make both/either image files, and other files smaller and quicker to download?
If anyone knows of any good tools, please post here. Smiling

Thanks in advance,

For PNG format: pngcrush. Smiling

For JPEG files, most image-editing software, including Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro and The GIMP, have quality controls and modes when exporting JPEG format images. Also physically resize photos to reasonable dimensions if it applies. Smiling

For GIFs, use palettes with less colours if possible. Wink
