PNG Thing PNG Image Optimizer

Apple Fanboyz friend Nick never could find a PNG image optimizer to his liking. There are a few widgets for the Mac but he’s not a big fan of the OS X Dashboard so, being the swell guy that he is, he decided to make his own version and share it with you for free.

PNG Thing is powered by the OptiPNG library and built with Ruby and Platypus. The application will optimize any PNG image (or folder of PNGs) dropped onto it. Once the optimization is complete, PNG Thing will notify you via Growl with the total number of images it has optimized and how many kilobytes you have saved. This thing is a great tool for any webmaster. Check it out and leave a comment if you would like to let him know what you think.
