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.
