Thanks for your time,

    Jpegmini  am AWESOME plugin! The only downside is it only compresses JPEG, no PNG or GIF optimization is available. There’s a free trial version that you can install. 200 photos are included in the free version! ☺️

    There isn't any good plugin for PhotoShop. I searched myself, and beside TinyPNG which crashes I could not find any other which can compress PNG or JPG. However, I found a better solution, which can compress multiple pictures. It is a window's software I'm definitely sure there should be mac version as well check "There isn't any good plugin for PhotoShop.

      The TinyPNG plugin is also no longer being developed. They won't be supporting anything bast PS 2023.  😞

        Tinypng (https://tinypng.com/) optimises jpeg and png images for web use. Usually around a 70% saving on file size.

          TinyPNG crashes on me multiple times a day. I am still looking for a good solution for exporting optimized PNGs. TinyPNG is just an interface for PNGQuant. I have an added step to optimize all my files through the command line. I would like Photoshop to finally add the option for PNGQuant or something similar since Google is pushing mobile first and Speed optimization. Sketch outputs optimized PNG's natively.

          Well, I am new to Photoshop CC and I wasn't sure if the "save for web" is the best option.  The only plugin I know about is this https://www.topazlabs.com/dejpeg  to really clean jpeg's up nicely, (although I don't think this one does PNG, which I also need).  If most think that "save for web" is as good as it gets, then I'll just go with that!  Just wanted to see if there were other options that I don't know about!!  Thank you!

          JPEG is lossy and complicated; there is the potential to fine tune the lossy process. But PNG is lossless. What goes into the PNG is the exact pixels, exact colours you had in Photoshop, and that's what comes out. It's basically like making a ZIP file. So I'm not sure what kind of PNG tuning you could need.

            Is there any specific problem with Photoshop's jpeg and png compression?

            This is the first time I hear of anyone requesting third-party solutions for this.

              Are you intending to replace the Jpeg and PNG plugins that Adobe installs or add additional plug-ins like SuperPNG? Jpeg and PNG file formats seem to be built into Photoshop.exe I do not see  a plug-in in  "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2017\Required\Plug-ins\File Formats" for Jpeg and PNG.
