Hello, Where can I find a compatible Free Image Optimizer for my MAC 10.6.8. Thank you.

My MAC isn't compatible with the Free Image Optimizer version you suggest. Thank you for your help.

ImageOptim looks pretty good for Mac or optimizilla.com for online compression.

You can use ImageOptim (https://imageoptim.com/mac), which is native OSX app, but recently I switched to web based TinyJPG service (https://tinyjpg.com/). TinyJPG makes about 20% smaller files. You can use it for 20 images at a time, just refresh the browser for another batch.

Hi Carla,

If this is for WordPress, I'd recommend using the Smush plugin. Doesn't matter about OS compatibility as this runs natvialey on WordPress :)

Hope this helps. Cheers Liam
