This piece of software is excellent for optimizing PNGs to make them as small as possible.

Highly recommended!

ImageOptim is an excellent alternative for Mac OS X, it also handles JPGs and GIFs in addition to PNGs which actually makes it even better, too bad its not available on Windows.

Trimage is another excellent alternative but for Linux, it handles JPGs and PNGs.

On Windows you can optimize JPGs with IrfanView, via Lossless JPEG Operations menu (Ctrl+J).

It's good for compressing manga scans. Depending on files themselves, it can compress down to 30-40% of the original size during best observed scenario. Unfortunately, sometimes there's no benefit to compressing at all (98-99%). The process is also quite slow. But it's definitely worth giving a try, you can leave it working overnight - chances are good that it'll save some space, and whatever the outcome your images lose nothing quality-wise.

What is PNGGauntlet?

-Combines PNGOUT, OptiPNG, and DeflOpt to create the smallest PNGs -No image quality is lost — only file size -Converts JPG, GIF, TIFF, and BMP files to PNG -Ultra-configurable

PNGGauntlet is a .NET program that uses Ken Silvermans PNGOUT, OptiPNG and DeflOpt to optimize PNG files. Many PNG files output by popular graphics software packages like Photoshop or even Fireworks are not as small as they could be - PNGGauntlet squeezes the last bit of size out of them. Furthermore, no information is lost during this process - the only thing that changes is the file size. Just select the files you want to optimize (or drag them onto the window), select where you want them to go, and click the button. PNGauntlet can also be used to convert JPG, GIF, TGA, PCX, and BMP files to PNG.

The software license for PNGGauntlet permits unlimited distribution as long as nobody charges money for it, modifies it, or packages it with other software without my permission. It also frees me from any liability from your use of the software. A copy of the actual license is included in the installation and is viewable from the "About" dialog.
