Update: There is a new version of the PNG Optimizer now called PNG Thing. You can find it over at the Apple Fanboyz site.
PngOptimizer is powered by the OptiPNG library and built with Ruby and Platypus and don’t flame Nick over the icon… he doesn’t like it that much either. The application will optimize any PNG (or folder of PNGs) dropped onto it. Once the optimization is complete, PngOptimizer will notify you via Growl with the total number of images it has optimized and how many kilobytes you have saved. Check it out and leave a comment if you would like to let him know what you think.

The site is always a work in progress, so I hope to keep improving it in the near future. Any comments on the new look are appreciated.
