PngOptimizer is an easy-to-use program to compress common graphics formats to PNG format with no visible quality difference. Files can be added one at a time or in batch to the program icon or window. even from the clipboard (press CTRL+V while the application is in focus). Graphics formats supported include BMP, GIF, TGA, as well as further compressesing PNG files by removing unnecessary data without affecting quality. Animated GIF and PNG files (APNG) are also supported.
Size decrease for PNG files are on average between 5-10%, but GIF and BMP conversions can be as much as 40% to 90% respectively.

Agree, 65% processor time and start after 2 minutes on P4/2GHz? No way, this PngOptimizer must be optimized.
Just downloaded 1.8 - same problem. Nothing's appeared and processor is using 100% on one core. Three minutes now so it'll have to be killed.
If we don't create ini file, it is working fine.
Create the 'PngOptimizer.ini' with the following content and save in 'UTF-8' format
================ start ===============
; PngOptimizer configuration file
; This file is encoded in UTF-8
[Engine]
BackupOldPngFiles = 1
KeepInterlacing = 0
KeepBackgroundColor = 0
AvoidGreyWithSimpleTransparency = 1
[Screenshots]
UseDefaultDir = 1
CustomDir =
MaximizeCompression = 1
AskForFileName = 0
[Window]
X = 345
Y = 215
Width = 521
Height = 300
============== end =====================
Great program. Thanks tun for the ini config trick.
.. with just a few random characters like the asdf example in 'PngOptimizer.ini' .. the new update works great on Win98 (or the whole ini template)
V2.0
This program is great for general PNG compression, but for web graphics that will see many downloads over time, I use RIOT (http://www.portablefreeware.com/index.php?id=1821)
V2.0
It takes forever to start this app. On windows XP.
