PNG Optimization Tool

I've always wished that WB would incorporate a PNG optimization function. PNGs created by WB (text, shadows, frames, shapes, etc.) can be quite large and often, I use TinyPng.com to compress the biggest ones one by one. But I just found this tool called PNGoo that allows you to publish your website from WB to a local directory...and then run this tool which will optimize all your PNG files, and has an option to overwrite the PNGs in place. In the example of one of my sites, it took 5MB of PNGs and optimized them to 1.5MB without any noticeable degradation. Fairly simple to use and NOT MY SOFTWARE. Use at your own risk, yada, yada, yada.

You can download it from my site here: http://www.skinnyswebworks.com/tools/pngoo.zip
Or read about it and download other versions here: https://pngquant.org

Yes, as mentioned above I have used TinyPng in the past. I would segregate my PNG files from the WB created IMAGE directory, upload them, compress them and then download them one by one. This tool allows you to leave your WB created PNGs in place in the IMAGE directory, select them all and overwrite the non-compressed PNG with the compressed PNG. For me...that is a great time saver.
