ImageOptim successor? Or similar software?

[bsmr]

Hi,

as ImageOptim is no longer being developed, are there any alternatives you can recommend?

I am mainly interested in lossless compression of images.

Any alternatives? I did find https://apps.apple.com/de/app/light-imageresizer/id1494629933 But I don't know, if it also does lossless compression?

why not use Automator and create a few QuickActions which full fill your image processing requirements?

Can Automator compress images lossless?

And it doesn’t run with Rosetta 2 https://support.apple.com/kb/HT211861 on Apple silicon?

Can Automator compress images lossless?

Besides operating with a lossless image format like PNG? Yes.
You actually have quite some granularity to adjust the compression level by using the sips utility from Automator.
To be fair: using sips from the terminal should have you covered.

Or you use Applescript to process images.
