Bucharest, Romania (ots/PRNewswire) – To improve and expand its digital optimization services, is pleased ShortPixel about the takeover of ReSmush.it, a leading provider of free image optimization tools. This acquisition brings together two pioneers of image compression technology with the vision of making optimization accessible to everyone.
ShortPixel has been at the forefront of image optimization since its inception, offering free and premium services to help web developers, bloggers, and online businesses improve the speed and performance of their websites. With over 300,000 active users, ShortPixel is known for its advanced algorithms that significantly reduce the size of image files without sacrificing quality.
reSmush.it was launched in 2008 and redesigned by Charles Bourgeaux in 2015. reSmush.it was developed as a free solution to reduce image size without losing quality. Dedicated to simplicity and efficiency, this service has achieved some notable milestones, including optimizing over 25 billion images and serving more than 400,000 websites, 200,000 of which are based on WordPress.
“In 2015, I used Yahoo Smush.it daily for all my projects, and image optimization became more and more important. I took the sudden shutdown of this service as an opportunity to offer a similar service, which was programmed within a few days. A week after the shutdown, I made reSmush.it available to the community, and within a few days it became very popular, exceeding my expectations! In less than a month, it optimized 1 million images per day!”
“I was very proud when I discovered that US universities were using reSmush.it. So I decided to continue expanding by supporting the community by creating plugins for the most popular tools. Since it was a personal need, it was very rewarding to see how popular this service was,” explains Charles Bourgeaux, former owner of reSmush.it.
“reSmush.it is a major player in the image optimization space, and it is the only truly free service of its kind. Its API is used by other major WP plugins and also by many other smaller solutions for Prestashop, Drupal and other CMS. We plan to keep the program free, but also improve it and add some affordable paid options for next-generation image formats. Our goal with reSmush.it is to be the free image optimization solution for any CMS,” says Alex Florescu, founder of ShortPixel.com.
