SmallImage is a simple and efficient tool to batch process JPEG files, resize them, recompress them, remove embedded profiles and make them ready for the web or store them efficiently.

SmallImage also lets you retreive informations about your JPEG files, like the compression factor, the size of each metadata, the EXIF informations, and so on.

SmallImage 2 was completely rewritten from scratch. All options are now available on the main window, making them much easier to use. One of the key new feature is the presence of presets, that lets you save the current options for later use. This allow for a quick use of SmallImage in different configurations to create for example full size images for the web along with their thumbnails.

In previous versions of SmallImage, removing profiles embedded in a file required an uncompression - compression process even if you wanted to keep the same compression factor. This lead to a loss of quality. SmallImage 2 does not need this any more and you can remove the profiles without any loss of quality.

SmallImage 2 also ships with a brand new informations panel. The compression factor is much more accurately computed. You can also retreive the EXIF informations along with the camera infos.

SmallImage 2 allows provides more fine-tuning options. You can remove more profiles and also the comment field. The fixed scaling allows for more options (largest and smallest side, in addition to width and length).

What's New:
Sorry for all the trouble with version 2.0.5.
10.3.9 Compatibility was broken in version 2.0.5 and should now be back.

Requirements:
Mac OS X 10.3 or later with Java 1.4 (might work on 10.2).
