Imgbot

Imgbot

Imgbot is a friendly robot that optimizes your images and saves you time. Optimized images mean smaller file sizes without sacrificing quality.

Shortly after installing Imgbot, you will receive a pull request with all of your images optimized. Just merge the pull request and you’re done! As you work on your project, Imgbot works alongside you to keep your images optimized.

Imgbot uses lossless compression by default.
