“Batch process JPEG files”

by Cyril Roger about SmallImage

SmallImage may not be as famous as other image processors but it performs as well as the best of them. Behind a fairly rudimentary interface lies an extremely useful program. You can quickly resize and recompress as many images as you want, and will always maintain almost the same image quality. Profiles and icons can be kept or removed in the process and you can also set recompression quality thanks to a useful slide bar. Details of your photos are accessible from the side window.

Adding or removing files is extremely easy to do and you can quickly shuffle through them to preview them before and after the change. SmallImage is very useful if you work on the web and need to adapt images to a specific page. The program will ensure that your images stay of excellent quality, whichever size you choose. Recently, its been updated to work with Snow Leopard although you may experience some instability issues with it.

SmallImage is an excellent application to resize images with little quality loss.

Pros
  • Fast and efficient
  • Little quality loss
  • Range of actions
Cons
  • The interface
  • May be unstable using Snow Leopard

Developer's description

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).

Finally, you can decide to remove or to keep the preview icon, but also to add one (this is only available for Panther users).
