As bandwidth costs rise, people look for ways to cut down on space and page size. Images are usually one of the main contributing factors to these costs. Many optimization services exist to create efficient images, but here at Resource Mania, we have identified one that stands out.
Smush.it is a very simple and easy to use service that optimizes most types of images. It lets you upload an image and reduce its size within a matter of seconds. Let’s go through Smush.it’s simple process:
To begin, why don’t we take a large screenshot and save a .png file of it:
This .png is a bit big, with a size of around 370KB. To optimize it, let’s go to Smush.it. Once there, all we do is click on the uploader button and find the file we want to upload:
Bam! What do you know? The file just got smushed down 10.73%, a whole 37.28KB!
Here is the final picture:
And for those of you who are worried about a visual difference, here is a clear comparison of the two images. The old image is on the left. The Smush.it optimized image is on the right.
As you can see, there is little to no visual difference. Saving bandwidth and money doesn’t have to be hard. Smush.it really makes it easy.
