Free Windows software that preserves image quality while reducing file size, removing unnecessary metadata and optimizing JPEG encoding.
Lossless Photo Squeezer is a free image optimization software for Windows that can reduce the storage space needed for JPEG photos by up to 30%, without affecting image quality. It works by removing unnecessary camera metadata (EXIF data) and optimizing JPEG encoding parameters.
The software has an easy-to-use interface where you can add single or multiple image files for optimization. It lets you preview before-and-after file sizes to gauge space savings. There are options to retain copyright information and creator name while stripping other EXIF data.
An important capability is lossless optimization, meaning it reduces file size without losing image quality - by just one level of compression. This is useful for storing more photos without buying more storage devices. It also makes it faster to share photos online or via email/chat apps.
Lossless Photo Squeezer can batch process hundreds of JPEG images easily in one go. The simplified interface has self-explanatory options to tweak image quality versus size reduction. Overall, it's a handy utility for amateur photographers clicking many photos with their phone or digital camera.
