The eternal fight for bandwidth conservation and image quality. This is something every web builder has to deal with when designing and developing a web site. Using graphics that are too big in size will compromise the speed at which your web pages load in your visitors' Browsers - that is a major problem!

Fortunately, there is an easy solution to the problem - optimization, and the tool that's going to make things happen is called DeBabelizer.

DeBabelizer is a neat tool that allows you to optimize graphics without compromising image quality. For instance, let's say you have an image file that's 500 K, after using DeBabelizer that very same image file will be about 10 K - now that makes a huge difference!
