Lightning-fast image compression for Windows

Troubleshooting

Files won't optimize

  • Check if the file format is supported
  • A file may be larger if a certain algorithm is used, so Zap won't optimize a file if the end result would be bigger
  • A file may have already been optimized
  • Ensure files aren't read-only or in use
  • Verify you have write permissions to the output location
  • You aren't able to drag a folder containing images in to Zap to be optimized, only the files you would like to optimize

Optimization seems slow

  • Large images take more time to process
  • "Insane" optimization level is slower but achieves better compression
  • Close other applications to free up system resources

Can't see optimized files

  • Check the output mode setting (in-place vs. copy)
