optiPNG is a PNG optimizer that recompresses image files to a smaller size, without losing any information. This program also converts external formats (BMP, GIF, PNM and TIFF) to optimized PNG, and performs PNG integrity checks and corrections.

Trimage (lossless) image compressor

@HugeGameArtGD Trimage looks like a GUI that uses optiPNG and a few other libraries. Trimage looks impressive.

@textovervideo just installed both (manjaro) and for the acid test, fed it a 252 MB png. a progress bar, even if standardly inaccurate, would be an improvement for trimage. it's still running after ten minutes and i'm going to assume this is too much for it :-) and terminate the process.
