We now move onto the free third-party applications. You’ll need to download and install those, but they’ll reward you with improved features and basic editing possibilities.
The first tool we are presenting you with is RIOT (Radical Image Optimization Tool). RIOT is, as its name speaks for itself, an image optimization tool with various features.
The interface is intuitive and user-friendly, so even newbies will find it easy to use. The most noteworthy difference comparing to online tools are formats.
RIOT supports all basic image/photo formats with the addition of PSD, RAW, HDR, and even a few unusual scientific formats.
Besides compression, you can use RIOT as a full optimization tool for all the operations needed (cropping, rotating, adjusting brightness, or gamma). On the other hand, we are here for the automatic optimization feature.
It works fast and your photos will be as good as they were before the size reduction. The automatic preview will let you see all the changes, with both dual or single view.
Additionally, multiple compressions can be done parallelly, and you can choose the output size threshold. RIOT also comes as a plugin for GIMP, IrfanView, or XnView.
If you are keen to move from browser to desktop, you can find RIOT, here.

No matter what option you choose, optimizing your photos for online implementation is imperative. On the other hand, images you upload must maintain a certain quality and be a valid addition to your site.
So, trying to balance between those two is the key.
