JpgStrip V1.0 This is a small utility to remove unnecessary information from JPEG files. This is useful for graphics that are going to be published to the web. It does not decompress, and recompress the image, so there is no image quality loss. It removes comments, and mostly unused extra tags. It works extremely well on Photoshop files that include thumbnails (it removes the thumbnails). It will remove Macintosh headers, extra bytes added to the end, and padding within the file. JpgStrip does not make backups, and there is no undo. I suggest trying this on a *copy* of important files. JpgStrip creates a JS.LOG file in the affected folder. It contains details about the process, including any errors or problems. To install simply put the executable file in a new folder, and create a shortcut somewhere. JpgStrip is freeware, and includes VB5 sourcecode. It requires, but does not include the VB5 runtime files. They are available from my site http://www.qtm.net/~davidc and many other places on the web. You are welcome to use this program for your own personal or business needs. You may distribute this program freely, as long as you keep the original archive with all files intact. You may not charge to distribute this program, except a small fee for CD-ROM distribution. If you like this software, please drop me a line, or donate some coffee :) My email address is davidc@qtm.net My source code is poorly documented. You may use parts of it in your own applications, but you can not claim the program as your own without making *substantial* changes to it. If you find a JPEG file that this program corrupts, please let me know, and emailing me the original (unprocessed) file would help.
