These days, one of my main tasks is to reduce the loading time for ForeCite (FC) reader - a web interface which allows users to read and annotate academic papers. I'll write a more thorough introduction about it in my next entries.
Since FC reader needs to display quite a number of PNG images, each image corresponds to a page in a paper. Thus, by reducing the size of the images, I hope to reduce the loading time of FC reader.
What follows are two PNG optimizers I've found out today. Basically, these tools help to recompress PNG image files to a smaller size, without losing any information
I've tried to run both and PNGout turns out to perform better than OptiPNG in reducing the image file size, however, it does take longer time to run
