Trimage lossless image compression

[viking60]

I have tested lossless image compression with Trimage.

Trimage is a GUI and a CLI tool and easy to use. The compression will not be huge but some and it will remove all Exif information which is maybe the biggest benefit.

So I installed it and fired up the GUI.

This is the easiest program in the world to use; just drag the image to Trimage and it will be compressed - just like that. It only works on Jpg and Png but that is a lot.

When dealing with entire directories I find the CLI better to use. To compress everything in the Pictures directory you can go to ~/ and do a:

Code: Select all

trimage -d Pictures

This will compress all images in the directory and remove all Exif info!

I could not help myself and added the following keywords:

Code: Select all

exiftool -keywords='Your computer will explode for spying on my pics!' *.jpg

To compress a single file in the Cli:

Code: Select all

trimage -f myfile.png

Works just fine!
