I use guetzli "Guetzli is a JPEG encoder that aims for excellent compression density at high visual quality. Guetzli-generated images are typically 20-30% smaller than images of equivalent quality generated by libjpeg. Guetzli generates only sequential (nonprogressive) JPEGs due to faster decompression speeds they offer."

try imagemagick
Thanks for all the suggestions guys - Much appreciated. I just tried out ShortPixel having paid for the 12000 images subscription. However, the compression is so much that I decided to not use it. I am not sure if it is because I am saving an already rather compressed image via photoshop only to be compressed more again but this time, it is quite blurry and don't think it gives visitors good impression of the website.
In terms of speed,prior to the compression, I was getting PageSpeed Scores of 93% and Y speed of 73%
After the compression, I am getting 96%/ 78% but I think the minor gain in % isn't enough to justify the reduction in image quality for me.
What I find strange prior to compression, the main page is 2.4mb, and after it is 1.6mb but the loading time is only down from 4.5s to 3.5s. I would have thought it would be faster.
Would you guys think the scores above is OK and will get penalized much by google or should I think of other ways to get the page speed down ?

You can upload to facebook and download it image will be optimised
I think what I should be saying is - does that 1 second difference actually matter much because in real life, there is not tangible difference but of course in google's eyes it might be different!
The website I am working on already has loads of authority (DR 36 on ahrefs) so I am not sure if google will "turn a blind eye" even if it takes maybe 1 second longer to load.

1.6 mb is still way too big. Are you using a page builder?

These scores are perfectly okay -- in my experience, the difference between 100% and 93% PageSpeed, ranking-wise, is marginal.
Concerning the loading time: This probably means that your page's bottleneck is in other place -- perhaps, in external resources (fonts, non-minified CSS and JS code.) Alternatively, your images may be still too big and numerous. What kind of images are they -- article illustrations or the website's design components?

You can use 'BulkResizePhotos' to compress as many images as you want without losing much of a quality.

Shortpixel does this like a charm.

Photoshop, ofcourse. I know it's paid, but you could still get it to work if you know your ways; or just get it for a month may be. The batch actions in photoshop is awesome! You resize the image once, and the batch action lets you do it for all.
Other than that, ffmpeg could possibly do it too (but I have never tried ffmpeg on an image).
A few more tricks (but not offline per se)..
Upload those files in whatsapp. Generally it's very annoying that WAP scales the images down, but in your case it can actually do the job for free.
Upload those files in fb. Should be the same effect as Whatsapp.
Upload those files in imgur. I know this one works, because I use it to post to BHW. BHW cannot upload the images from my camera, because they are too big.
