Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use ImageMint on Windows or Linux?
Yes — ImageMint runs in any modern browser on any OS, including Windows, Linux, ChromeOS, iPadOS, and Android.
Does ImageMint compress as aggressively as ImageOptim?
ImageMint uses the same MozJPEG and OxiPNG encoders that ImageOptim chains, so lossless savings are comparable. You can also enable lossy mode for larger reductions.
Which one should I pick?
Pick ImageOptim if you live in macOS Finder and want deep OS integration. Pick ImageMint if you need cross-platform access, format conversion, or tools beyond compression.
