iOS: How to reduce image size for splashscreen

For a universal app to support iphones and ipads, there are several resolutions, retina or non-retina screen, portrait and landscape orientation, so that there would be many *.png, this will hugely increase the final size of app bundle size.

Is there any good advice for reduce image sizes?

Also, you can use a .jpg as a splash.

Just remember to change the UILaunchImageFile = "splash.jpg" setting in the info.plist file.

I'm using it in my latest app. A 700K png is only a 180k jpg.

You can try Imageoptim, which can optimize also png and jpeg images.

The best way is to use pngcrush. You can use it to try all possible encoding methods and get the smallest files possible.
