Alic makes it simple to compress images. It's a great tool for quickly compressing images for the web, or to share with clients.
Why compress images? 🤔
- 🚀 Faster load times
- 📉 Less bandwidth usage
- 🔍 Better SEO
- 😊 Better user experience
And security: Many cameras and phones embed metadata in images, which can include location, camera model, and other sensitive information. Alic can remove this metadata for you.
Supported image formats:
- JPEG
- PNG
- WebP
- GIF
- TIFF
Alic is heavily inspired by ImageOptim, but with modern compression algorithms for smaller files and speed. See Differences from ImageOptim.
