- In Finder select your files/folders, invoke your hotkey for Universal Actions, then select
Optimize Images.
- Or use a File Buffer by invoking your Alfred Hotkey, typing the keyword
imageoptim, typing the name of a file/folder, select multiple files using ⌥ + Arrow up, and finally pressing enter.

- JPEG:
jpegtran,jpegoptim - GIF:
gifsicle - SVG:
svgcleaner - PNG:
pngcrush,advpng,oxipng,pngquant,zopflipng,pngout
- Simply download the last release
- Unzip the file on your computer
- Install
