Optimizing the Images is an art that only few people knows, there are many useful image editing tools available that do allow images to be edited to reduce their size while retaining image quality. Using these type of tools is a good way to start optimizing images, but more can be done using advanced tools like Smush.it.

Smush.it is a tool that uses optimization techniques specific to images format to remove unnecessary bytes from image files. From this tool you can optimize the images without changing or loosing their visual quality. After Smush.it runs on the web page it reports how many bytes would be saved by optimizing the page images and provides a downloadable zip file with the minimized image files.

You can use Smush It from following methods:

1. Upload pictures from your browser.
