The Ask.com User Experience team that I'm a part of uses punypng as our weapon of choice as well as the Gracepoint Fellowship Church web team. It's very competitive to smush.it and pngout, and punypng beats them out most of the time (though don't my word for it, try it out yourself to see). I think the great thing about something like punypng versus the command-line tools is that you can throw a whole folder at punypng and just let punypng do all the work to figure out which tool is best for the job. Sometimes converting a JPEG to PNG and then compressing it down is better ... sometimes jpeg-tran or jpegoptim is better. Punypng just works.

It keeps returning the error message, "Bad response from Smush.it" with a link to Re-smush. Anyone else having this issue?
