JPEG files generally contain 'extra' data that isn't used by web browsers or most image viewers. This extra data takes time to download when viewing a web page, and takes additional hard drive
space. Most of the time it is safe to remove this extra data. jStrip removes this extra data. It does not have to recompress the image data, so there is no image quality loss. It will remove
thumbnail data that is not usually seen.
Our Review: This program is very easy to use. Unfortunately, you can only select whole folders of images to be stripped ie. you cannot strip just one image. Obviously this approach is great for stripping your whole web site just before you publish it, but it is very inconvenient at other times. Other than that, this is an effective tool, with over half a dozen techniques. It also produces an events file so you can see precisely how you crashed your computer with your overzealous image compression.
