ImageFoo

When you want to send a file via email or your preferred instant messenger, you are restricted to a certain size, lest the transfer does not complete successfully. ImageFoo is an app designed especially to help you cut down the size of your graphic files so you can easily share them online afterwards.

Considering this application is targeted at beginners, as well as expert users, the main window is simplistic and as straightforward as they come.

You need to start by adding the pictures you want to optimize using one of the two available methods: you can either drag and drop them onto the dedicated panel, or you can manually browse to the location of each file.

Unfortunately, ImageFoo can only process PNG and JPEG files, so you might need to convert your images to these extensions first (a specialized software is required).

There is a single parameter that can be tweaked before initiating the file reduction, namely the output file's quality level, and this might be considered a shortcoming by the most advanced users, while the novices might take it as a blessing.

You still get complete control over the destination folder for all the optimized images and you even get the possibility to overwrite the original ones with a single mouse click. However, this is a risky operation, and should only be enabled when you are absolutely sure you no longer need the source images.

Once your selected files have been optimized, ImageFoo displays a list with the results, while also informing you how much space you have saved following this process.

ImageFoo can be used without a hassle by all types of users, since no technical skills are required and the entire workflow is highly intuitive.
