What Optimage is
Optimage is a macOS image optimization tool for compressing, resizing, and converting image and video files. The maker says it can reduce image size by up to 90% without losing visual quality. It supports batch processing, image resizing, both listed compression modes, and metadata controls. Formats include JPEG, PNG, APNG, GIF, SVG, WebP, HEIC, PDF, JPEG2000, TIFF, RAW, ICO, ICNS, and BMP, plus several video formats. Color features include ICC profile support and sRGB conversion. Metadata tools can remove personal information and hidden metadata without relying on third-party services that may collect user data, according to the maker. Optimage integrates with Finder and Sketch, provides a command-line tool, and supports sharing through extensions in the Share menu. The current release supports macOS 10.13 and later; Windows and Linux are described as coming later. A free plan allows 24 images per day. The paid Optimage plan costs $15, paid once, while the Optimage 3 license has no listed price.
