This software eliminates unnecessary data forks found in both GIFs and JPEGs formats.
Gif Prep is an excellent drag and drop utility that ensures accurate file sizes by stripping resource forks from GIF and JPEG files. It is important to note that most webservers only serve the data fork of the file, even though the file may have a resource fork.
Essentially, the cross-platform GIF or JPEG file is located in the "data fork" of a Macintosh file, whereas anything in the "resource fork" is Macintosh application-specific fluff. Depending on the method that was used to create your graphic, there may be nothing in the "resource fork" or more data than what's in your actual GIF or JPEG file in the "data fork" of your Macintosh file.
This problem is especially common for files created using file-format plug-ins, such as PhotoGIF and ProJPEG, in Photoshop. And so, GIF Prep was created to solve this issue.
In summary, if you're in need of accurate file sizes for your GIF and JPEG files, download Gif Prep today. It is user-friendly, effective, and hassle-free.
