Hello Dear , can we have a script to run it on our webserver not desktop ?
does it work on windows 10
Hello. Yes, it works.
Hey, I entered in contact with you, but you did not answer. I want to cancel the buy.
Where is the image? Where is the download folder?
Hello. What image and folder are you expecting to get? This is a standalone program for Windows not the plugin.
I upload images to be optimized. then, select save to : External Folder. But what is that folder that carries my optimized images?
Oh. I see. If you haven’t changed your default settings it should be a Documents folder. You can check and change it in Options.
Hi, i’m missing files to compile ?
Hello. This is a standalone program without any source code.
i run on mac do you plan to make it work on mac ?
Sorry, I have no such plans.
The tools used for optimization are jpegtran, TinyJPG, JPEGmini, optipng, pngout, pngquant, TinyPNG, and gifsicle.

Hi,
i was thinking of using the above plugin for wordpress to optimize my picture size at my server
however, i found out some of the utilities needed as stated above are not available at my shared hosting
i see your software is to optimize file size but done at PC ? i think it is still ok as i can download all images from my server to my PC, optimize, then ftp back
question is, do you think your software can perform as well or better than this plugin?
if yes, i will buy
thanks
Hello. Sorry for the late response. This program also uses jpegtran for jpeg and gifsicle for gif’s. But maybe with the different parameters. For PNG Solvium uses other tool and optimization strategy. In my opinion mentioned plug-in uses an excess amount of utilities that can load the server for no reason. If you want I can optimize some of your images for test.
hi,
can you make an ios app for company app,
an example of app is http://www.chupamobile.com/ios-full-applications/enjoya-app-7052
thanks
Hello. Sorry but I’m not working with mobile apps.
So strange that this excellent tool only sold 24 copies! It’s really a great program, simple but powerful.
Thanks, frisser! I have a plenty ideas how to make this app even better, so stay tuned for the new updates.
thanks for the update.
Sir, Did not want standalone program. Looking for Wp p[lug-in. Please refund.
Hello, sorry for the late response. With refund inquiries you need to contact Envato Support. You can open a ticket here: http://support.envato.com/index.php?/Tickets/Submit
How to install? Zip File too big.
ran into an issue, placed a bunch of images, .jpg, .png and .gif into the app, with convert to original and save to overwrite selected..
it made all files into jpgs, even the .png and .gif’s
would prefer if it made jpgs to jpgs, gif’s to gif’s and png’s to png’s
Thanks for your report, pleiadene. Yes, this issue was confirmed in the final release. Sorry for inconvenience. You can send me PM trough my profile page and recieve fix until it will be released here.
The problem was fixed in the recent version.
what changes where made to 1.0.7?
thanks
Hey, redflamemedia. Changelog for 1.0.7:
Fixed: JPEG compression was performed during the resize with lossless settings Added: ability to scan subfolders while dropping or adding files Added: ability to add folders with "Add" button
And core libraries was updated. You can also see all changes in the help file, “Changelog” section.
Liking this program so far. I have two questions.
1. Can images from sub folders be scanned/included when drag and dropping a folder?
2. Is there any any detection to see if an image has already been optimized? While still checking for things like removing metadata and/or progressive jpeg are done.
Hello, Geach, thanks for purchase!
1. In the current version there is no such possibility, but I can add scanning of subfolders in the next version, if it necessary.
2. If an image was optimized by another program, Solvium always tries to optimize it with its own algorithm. But if an image was previously optimized by Solvium, the next time it will be detected and processed faster.
1. That would certainly be helpful to me.
2. I was more worried about image degradation happening by resaving an image multiple times. Basicly having some way to prevent degradation when going over large list of images. The list images would be a mixture of optimzied images and unoptimzied images.
Thanks for the reply
If you are processing PNG file there is no image degradation at all. With JPEG you need to select “Lossless” quality in Options. With this setting you will not face the loss of quality as long as the image in its original size (size does not change).
In a new version 1.0.7 was added ability to scan subfolders while dropping or adding files.
Sorry to bother you again. Is it possible to have the sub-folder structure stay intact? Maybe as an option? That way it is much easier for me to optimize images bulk without having to optimize each folder separately. In this case I have roughly 269 folders in one folder I want to go through.
You need to check “Search files in subfolders…” in Options. With this setting all subfolders will be processed.
Ah think I found my issue was trying to save using the external folder option. I switch the option to overwrite and so far it looks to be keeping the folder structure. The reason I was trying the save to external folder save option was to compare the before and after. But since I can just copy the original folder I can live with using overwrite save option instead. Thanks for the changes by the way.
After that much of time I newly found time to digg solvium deeply. The intresting thing that I realized is, half of the package is just exists of famous but weird exiftool. Actually one thing need to accept that, whoever googles about exif finds it. This is the succesfull part 
But the part I couldn’t understand is why need to make package size doubled? Any image used in solvium means processed. And since solvium using legendary imagemagick library, it doesn’t need and auxullary exif tool. Just “-strip” in imagemagick solves all.
convert “inputfile” -strip “outputfile”
What about in case of not to process? Imagemagick package solves again
mogrify -strip outputfile
In case of a need of an aux app under any case? Here comes a small and handy beauty

/gui=0 “inputfile” /ignore-readonly=1
And a few notes about exiftool thing. It’s the application with the support on widest format possible. But 
If you’ll check, you’ll see that nearly “all” of those formats are with just “read” support. No support for write means it can not strip or not I dont know but, in conclusion It’s a bloated app with perl (as I remember) and actually it’s packed stuff (source killer) which extracts tons of things to the temp directory and passes commands to there.
Ah not to forget, also there is another freeware alternate is http://www.exifpurge.com/
Hello, karaziki. Thanks for your investigations The main reason that I choose exiftool is the flexibility and the ability to select what metadata should be removed. Especially it concerns the ICC profile. As you can see in the comments here, one of our users asked for this feature. All other tools that I tested can strip metadata in mode “all or nothing”, without any possible customization. But with exiftool we can flexible choose to strip not only EXIF, but GPS, IPTC, XMP and ICC also independently.
Ahh sure color profiles…
Yes the ones that I suggest are just predators which makes complete cleanup. Me also don’t think that they give an option to choose.
Thanks for clearing up the situation
Wow impressive.
I just left here 1 month after our loong discussion. When I turned back I saw that It’s taking update over and over. I think you’ll get a new price increase nowadays. Solvium really started to become great. Now I bought and take it to hard tests. Because compression is really a hard and obligated issue for me. Looks pretty fine. My problem was PNG files as I explained. Now my compression rates increased from 30% to 50 – 60% with the additional power of color quantization.
But still one important thing missing;
The resize is completely sticked to profiles. Even you’ll just take a single picture and “resize it to something else freely”, first you need to create a profile. But if there will be an extra 3 field over the profile listing [width] [height] and [resize type] it will be great. It will be possible to use it for any value without dealing with profiles.
Thanks for new comment and for purchase! I’m surely will try to come up with something in this direction.

Can i drop a folder of pictures not just files ?
Hello, Adam. Thanks for your interest! For now you can drag and drop only files from any folder. But if you really need this I can implement folders d&d in the next version 1.0.5, or send updated version to you until the new version will be released. It is nice idea.
Hello again, Adam. New version 1.0.5 with folders drag and drop has been released.
Thanks I will re-download now !
New version 1.0.4 available now. Changelog:
- Fixed: overflow exception that in rare cases can occur while resizing;
- Fixed: width and height values in the filename after resizing with constrain proportions method;
- Fixed: error with size list when you select one size, but resizing using other;
- Improved: perfomance while reading JPEG files with progressive encoding.
