Converting and shrinking PNG files

Here's a simple command to convert and down-sample PNG files so they aren't 18 mg monsters.
mogrify -quality 20 -format jpg *.png
This will convert all PNGs in the directory to jpg and reduces the quality to 20% of the original. I can't tell the difference at all.

It uses the mogrify command from the ImageMagik toolkit.
