Tiny Beest Image Optimization is a free Chrome Extension to resize and optimize online images before even downloading them. It helps you to quickly resize and optimize online images and then with a Save As dialog it lets you save them locally on your PC. It basically works with JPG and PNG images only. You can either choose to optimize the image with current size or you can choose to optimize after resizing them with 6 preferred preset width. The available presets to resize images are 1920px, 1440px, 1280px, 1080px, 600px, and 300px wide. It always maintains the aspect ratio of the original images automatically. The difference between quality of original image and the optimized image is very low and can be ignored.
Optimizing online images with a single right click helps you save a lot of time as you don’t have to open any software for basic resizing and optimization. However if it had settings to control the optimization and resizing according to our need other than the presets, then it would have been even more helpful.
What makes it better than other online image optimizers like Kraken is the fact that it can optimizes images directly from where they are and you don’t need to upload or paste URL of the image on any websites.
