    Now this was intriguing. I wish there was a program to use instead of having to go to a website to use their tool. Thanks for sharing!

      Hey Mitch,

      Yeah it is an online tool, sometimes quite annoying because whenever i create a post even some ads banner i have to compress first.

      Though you can use imageoptim if you use mac. It is a program to compress png file.

      Thanks for visiting and leaving a comment Mitch 🙂

        No problem. And I don’t have a Mac, so I figure this isn’t quite for me right now. But someone might enjoy it.

    There is a plugin for wordpress I use that runs images through smush.it seems to work ok. I installed it, then installed ajax rebuild thumbnails which ran all my images through it so I didn’t need to do them one by one. seemed to work fine
