Feature request: Better image optimization #680

Closed jkbktl closed 1 year ago

jkbktl commented 10 years ago

I love using CodeKit for compiling LESS and CoffeeScript files, but it's useless for image optimization. It's just not working as well as expected.

I did a test with random images. I compared some services for image optimization.

Here are the results: test-results

Optimized images from Kraken.io and tinyPNG are unrecognizable from originals, so there are some options to improve this feature. (Here are all images in ZIP to see image quality: http://goo.gl/z4xEEg)

So I would love to see some better algorithm for image optimization.

Please don't get me wrong, it's not important, it's just nice-to-have.

It's really unfair to compare lossy and lossless optimizations. Of course lossy is going to win!

That said, I do intend to provide some more options for the image optimizers in the future. It's just a little lower on the priority list than shipping 2.0.

Maybe you can look into adding ImageOptim (http://imageoptim.com/)?
