ArtOptimizer

ArtOptimizer is a workflow-automation solution for Adobe Illustrator, which reduces the size of image links by eliminating excess image data and performs essential image adjustments. ArtOptimizer reduces the size of Illustrator links whose effective resolution is higher than user-defined target resolution.

ArtOptimizer will open images in Adobe Photoshop, automatically reduce their resolution, and scale the images according to their dimensions in Illustrator document. The software will then reimport the images into Illustrator at 100% in their precise position.
