The short answer
Does ImageOptim make WebP or AVIF?
The ImageOptim Mac app optimizes JPEG, PNG, GIF and SVG in their own formats. Cropped also converts to WebP and AVIF, resizes in the same step and shrinks videos and PDFs, on Mac, Windows and Linux. ImageOptim is free and lossless by default; Cropped Core is $24.99 once.

Does Cropped work on Linux?
Cropped runs on Mac (Apple Silicon and Intel, macOS 14 or later), 64-bit Windows 11 and Ubuntu 24.04 or later with GNOME (Linux is in Beta). One license covers all three. A few things are Mac only for now, like the camera bubble, Webpage only and Smooth Scroll. See every difference.
