Wasn't 100% sure where to put this but it is a great RPG Maker resource so I hope here is ok :).
I found a .PNG optimizer that is free and very simple to use. It will reduce the file size of your images without any noticeable change in image quality. It dropped my project size by over 12 mb. I know that image compression is already mentioned in this guide: http://forum.chaos-project.com/index.php/topic,41.0.html but I thought this little program is very useful way to get your filesize down while keeping quality

That guide is out dated, and I failed to keep my promise of updating it. Because behold, I have my own favourite PNG optimizer that I didn't list there:

Well I have my own special secret of compressing images.
