Shrink images losslessly

About Image Optimizer
Image Optimizer makes PNG and JPEG files smaller without changing how they look. It rewrites the files you pick in place, so the file you selected is the one that gets smaller.
The compression is lossless, which means the pixels come out identical and nothing is re-encoded at a lower quality. What comes off is whatever the encoder left on the table, so screenshots and interface images usually gain the most and photos straight out of a camera the least.
Features:
Compress PNG and JPEG images without losing quality
Optimize a whole batch at once, several files at a time
Works offline, with no account and nothing uploaded
Keeps the colour profile and the orientation, so images still look the way they did
Keeps modification times, so a library sorted by date stays in order
Quit quickly by pressing Ctrl + Q
