This is for in the future when I want to compress more images or anyone else for that matter.

Lossless

https://squoosh.app/

good at reducing the pallet, a first step for images that have a limited number of colors, bad at actually compressing things though, for all formats tested.

PNGs:

pngcrush

Good, but should be ran before optipng, but isn't as good as it, use in tandom

optipng

The best tool to really shrink pngs to be as small as they can be.

WEBP

ffmpeg

so far this seems to be the best way to compress webp images with a command that kinda looks like this one

ffmpeg -i input.webp -c:v libwebp -lossless 1 -q:v 100 -compression_level 6 output.webp

it's better than png, though I have a feeling more could be done

Vector

SVGs:

great tool, if anyone knows how to squish them further, let me know, some manual work may go a long way to help shrink svgs, though I'm not doing that right now lol.

I may look into other formats soon as well, though these are the main two I'm currently using
