jStrip software (FREE)


.... Came across this piece of software which I thought would be beneficial to the Creek. It will allow larger or higher quality pics at about the same size or you could reduce your present POST size pics. And can also be used for personal use as well. Below are two readme texts that accompanies the program file ;).

Enjoy

Freeware


DESCRIPTION:
.... JPEG files generally contain 'extra' data that isn't used by web
browsers or most image viewers. This extra data takes time to
download when viewing a web page, and takes additional hard drive
space. Most of the time it is safe to remove this extra data.


jStrip removes this extra data. It does not have to recompress the
image data, so there is no image quality loss. It will remove
thumbnail data that is not usually seen.


jStrip can also do simple file renaming of your JPEG files.




.... jStrip is a free tool to reduce the file size of JPEG images without sacrificing image quality. High-traffic websites with many JPEG images can benefit from decreased bandwidth costs. Less hard disk space will be used by image collectors.


jStrip works by removing unneeded data from JPEG files. This data is unused by web browsers and image viewing software. jStrip does not re-compress an image, so there is no image quality loss.

This site best viewed with a web browser, and at least one eye. As someone who writes Readme files for a living, this cracked me up.

I'll have to check out jStrip when I get a chance.
