In modern web development even minor optimizations have significant influence on how efficiently your app works. With hundreds of servers and millions of users, every single pixel counts.
Kraken is a robust, ultra-fast image optimizer. Thanks to its vast array of optimization algorithms Kraken is world ahead comparing to other tools. Want to save bandwidth and improve your website’s load times? Look no further and welcome to Kraken!
New Kraken is coming very soon!Let's face it - Kraken has been misbehaving for several weeks now and we have been working hard to tame him. In the coming weeks we will be releasing a completely rewritten and redesigned version of your favourite image optimizer. We will also be shipping our highly anticipated paid plans for advanced API usage! Stay tuned.
Kraken gives you two options which differ in terms of optimization level and image quality. Both modes are world ahead comparing to other tools - the only thing you have to do is to decide if you want to sacrifice image quality and how much you wish to optimize your images.
Lossless This mode will push your images to the extreme without changing a single pixel. Lossless option is perfect when image quality is the most important factor. Keep in mind that this mode is more time consuming.
Lossy When you decide to sacrifice just a small amount of image quality (unnoticeable to the human eye), you will be able to save up to 90% (!) of the initial file weight. Lossy optimization will give you outstanding results with just a fraction of image quality loss.
Remember - since outcome is always file-dependent, sometimes you won't be able to tell the difference between images kraked with "lossless" and "lossy" option.
