Neat tool for shrinking jpegs...

Severin · 1st Dec 2011, 02:57 AM

I'm just starting to make some mobile sites but I am frustrated by the small file sizes needed and the bare-bones look of many mobile sites- I want to have a decent amount of images and graphics and to make it look like a faithful yet functional representation of my clients desktop sites. So I needed to find an easy way to shrink the file sizes without messing about in photoshop. I found this...

JPG/JPEG Image File Size Reducer and Batch Image Resizer - Free software downloads and software reviews - CNET Download.com (no affiliation)

Free, quick, easy and it works well. My WC3 score increased dramatically once I'd pasted in my new 'shrunken' images.

All the best

Gifbot is an online tool I have been using for image optimization for some time now:
HTML code help, search engine optimization and web site maintenance tools by NetMechanic.

Works very well.

Compression tools and mobile web development are a no brainer if your not already using them you should...

Yahoo offers a compression service too that I use all the time...

Guess wf doesnt like that url so replace stars with "sh it" no spaces

Whilst you are at you may want to consider compressing your CSS

Unless your doing it automatically you can use this:

Hope that helps

If you want a desktop tool alternative to photoshop, Infranview is another great tool.

IrfanView - Official Homepage - one of the most popular viewers worldwide

Make sure you also download the plugins which will allow you to resize and compress your images easily
