A decent software (I use photoshop but there are plenty of good ones out there) will give you a preview with filesize for different formats - all you need to do is pick the one that best fits that style of image.
Sigil also has plugins for removing rubbish in JPG ( JPEGOptimizer) and for subsetting your fonts ( SubsetFonts).
Either program works well! |
Well, all of that is true--but I still say that trying to go from about 2.5mb per image, to 175kb each, is not going to go well, "without losing image resolution."
As I said, we just
tried to do something similar and eventually, the client gave up. I'd warned him that it wouldn't, and as it happened, yes, I ended up wasting
my time on demos/samples, but at least I didn't end up with an unhappy client thinking I'd sandbagged him or the like.
