![]() And depending on how you save your images that could be even more. That might not seem huge, but that means I reduced the entire folder size by about 4 full images. After running ImageOptim it squeezed out 3.8MB in total from all the images. Before running ImageOptim the folder of images was 51.8 megabytes (these images had already been saved using Photoshop’s Save For Web). I recently made an FXL book for a client that had a large number of full page images in it. You shouldn’t see any visual difference in your images when using ImageOptim, only a file size difference. Unlike Photoshop’s Save for Web, it does not compress images at all. It’s important to know what ImageOptim does NOT do as well. When you run ImageOptim on an image, it tests each algorithm and then applies the one that creates the smallest file size. Even if you use Save For Web in Photoshop there’s still a lot of additional cruft in that file that can be removed to further reduce the file size. ImageOptim is actually a series of scripts and algorithms that remove unnecessary data from images to make them smaller in size and load faster. Let’s take a look at ImageOptim What is ImageOptim? Fortunately there’s a great little program that can help reduce the size of images. ![]() If you create image-heavy eBooks (both reflowable and FXL), you’ve probably seen how quickly your final ePub’s file size can increase. But it’s not just that: the size of an ePub file can also contribute to sluggish rendering times and slow downloading times to get it onto your device. Each image you add can be-quite literally-costly. ![]() Some retailers- like Kindle’s Direct Publishing program-have very small maximum file sizes or charge you download fees. ![]()
