pingo optimizer
pingo, a fast image optimizer
pingo is an experimental, fast Web PNG/JPG optimizer which offer lossless, web lossless or lossy compression. it performs image reductions over iterations thanks to recursive multi-processing and multithreading systems
manual v0.98
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
