pingo optimizer
pingo, a fast image optimizer
pingo is an experimental, fast Web PNG/JPG optimizer which offer lossless, visually lossless or lossy compression. it performs image reductions over iterations thanks to recursive multi-processing and multithreading systems
version:
0.97 — zip, windows xp/7/8/10 — free — 32-bit download
manual v0.97
important
always do backup before using pingo. try on test files/folders especially made for this. understand that this tool is processing all files in subfolders. it could convert/reduce the visual quality of your files and overwrite them without any backup or warning
see some examples for pingo usage
| options | range | type | effect |
|---|---|---|---|
| -auto | -auto=N | — | auto | [1-100] optimize the image for Web (default) | -s0 to -s8 | 0 — 8 | web lossless | web lossless optimization | compression level |
| PNG | |||
| -pngquality=N | 1 — 100 | lossy | auto-select lossy type |
| -pngfilter=N | 1 — 100 | lossy (type) | use lossy filter to transform data |
| -pngpalette=N | 1 — 100 | lossy (type) | quantize to paletted (256 colors max) |
| -pngcolor=N | 70 — 100 | lossy (type) | reduce the number of colors |
| -pngconvert=N | 0 — 12 | lossless-lossy | convert JPG to PNG using a filter |
| JPG | |||
| -jpgquality=N | 1 — 100 | lossy | set JPG quality |
| -jpgsample=N | 0 — 2 | lossy | set JPG subsampling |
| -jpgtable=N | 0 — 5 | lossy | set JPG quantization table |
| -jpgfilter=N | 0 — 10 | lossy | enhance details and adapt quality |
| -jpgconvert | — | lossy | convert PNG to JPG <=> -rgb |
| -jpgscale | — | lossy | auto-scaling for high definition JPG |
| PNG/JPG | -fast | — | lossy | just remove chunks or segments <=> -strip=N | -strip=N | 0 — 3 | lossless-lossy | set the level for chunks/segments removal |
| shortcuts | effect |
|---|---|
| -lossless | enable strict lossless optimization |
| -compress, -c | just do recompression |

| -soft | lossy but high quality presets (PNG and JPG) |
| transformations | effect |
| -grayscale | convert image data to grayscale |
| -notrans | convert RGB data to remove transparency <=> -rgb |
| -rgb: N N N | set backgroundcolor in red, green and blue (0-255) <=> -notrans or -jpgconvert |
| trials | effect |
| -uncompress, -u | just do uncompression |
| -reset | force filter none, convert RGB data if alpha is 0, uncompress |
| controls | effect |
| -nomulti, -low | disable multiblocks/multiprocessing |
| -multiprocess=N | enable or disable the multiprocessing (default enabled) |
| -multiblocks=N | set the number of threads (default: 4) |
| -verbose=N | set the verbose level (0=quiet, 1=result, 2=result and %, 3=result, % and size) |
| -q, -quiet | set verbose to 0 |
| no[value] | effect |
|---|---|
