Pngcrush

Pngcrush is an optimizer for PNG (Portable Network Graphics) files. It can be run from a commandline in an MSDOS window, or from a UNIX or LINUX commandline.

Its main purpose is to reduce the size of the PNG IDAT datastream by trying various compression levels and PNG filter methods. It also can be used to remove unwanted ancillary chunks, or to add certain chunks including gAMA, tRNS, iCCP, and textual chunks.

Source on Sourceforge

Usage

  1. Put your all png files into "workspace_in" folder;

  2. Run batch_script.sh to recompress png files:

     $ ./batch_script.sh

  3. All recompressed png files will be outputed into "workspace_out" folder;

  4. Copy the files in "workspace_out" folder to your desired place;

  5. Rm all files in "workspace_in" & "workspace_out" folders.

Note: The binary files under ./pngcrush/ were built by "GNU Make" (v3.81), you can build by yourself if want.

    $ cd ./pngcrush  
    $ make clean  
    $ make  
    $ cd -
