Optimage review
A capable Mac image compressor with broad format support and command-line workflows.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Optimage is a macOS desktop application for compressing, resizing, and converting images, videos, and documents. It is aimed at photographers, web developers, designers, and other users who need to reduce file sizes while retaining visual quality. The product supports both lossy and lossless image compression, making it suitable for workflows that prioritize either smaller files or preservation of image data. It is a particularly good fit for solo users and small teams working on Macs.
Its strongest area is format and workflow coverage. Optimage supports common formats including JPEG, PNG, APNG, GIF, SVG, WebP, HEIC, PDF, JPEG2000, TIFF, RAW, ICO, ICNS, and BMP. Batch processing, image resizing, format conversion, metadata removal and preservation controls, color management, and sRGB conversion extend it beyond basic compression. Finder, Sketch, and Share menu integration support desktop workflows, while command-line integration adds an option for users who want repeatable processing outside the graphical interface.
The pricing structure is straightforward. The Free plan allows 24 images per day, while the Optimage 3 license provides unlimited use after registration for $15 one-time, with a per-seat license and compatibility with macOS 10.13 or later. Support is available by email. Optimage should suit Mac-based photographers, designers, developers, and small teams that need broad media-format support in a desktop tool. It is less suitable for organizations that require a Windows or non-desktop deployment, or for teams seeking shared licensing rather than per-seat use.
