Smush.it Service Automatically Optimizes Any Image
It is well known the influence of images size over the page loading speed: a higher image dimension makes the web page to load slower. There are many desktop based utilities that help designers and developers to optimize the size of images published over the Internet for getting the maximum page loading speed value, but not all applications make this process automatically.
Practically, with the most of them, you will have to know what parameters must be optimized by specifying the desired values manually. As an alternative for desktop software, Smush.it web service is capable to automatically optimize images in bulk.
The images can be uploaded from your computer directly on Smush.it web servers in order to be processed. In the same time the user has the alternative to provide a web page URL and the service will automatically optimize all images existing on that page.
Even more, with the help of a Firefox add-on (or for non-Firefox users a JavaScript bookmarklet is provided), you can optimize all images on a given web page with a single mouse click.
After performing an optimization process for a certain images set, you will get a link to download a ZIP file containing the optimized images and in the same time a report showing the level of compression of the new resulted images.
Programmers are allowed to include into their applications the code necessary to call the Smush.it API, which will make the images optimization on the fly, when they are published online. In conclusion, Smush.it web service, being free to use and without any limitation for images file sizes or number, could improve your work flow in rapidly optimizing images.
Besides the removing of the need of a third party desktop client application, Smush.it also provides the best possible desired quality of compressed images.
