This software performs batch image conversion and offers a range of graphic filters, including a powerful quantization tool for reducing colors in web design. Ideal for post-editing, it helps reduce color scales while still maintaining a professional finish.
One of the most useful filters is the quantization (color reduction) filter, which is particularly effective for resizing images for use on the web. By reducing the color scale of an image in a professional way, while maintaining the image's quality, this filter can greatly reduce the size of the resultant file. This is especially true when reducing the color scale to 512 colors, which is generally unnoticed by the user, but results in a significantly smaller file size.
This program has been designed to adapt to the in-use CPU, so it can run on any x86 CPU, including older Pentium models. There are also several versions available, catering to different needs and operating systems. It supports any Windows OS from Windows NT4 to Windows 10.
One of the most convenient aspects of this program is that it is portable, meaning that it is not installed on your PC and does not meddle with its configurations. It can be run from any folder where you have executing privileges, and can even be run from a pen drive (if you have executing privileges on it). Overall, this program is a reliable and versatile option for all your image processing needs.
