Some of the jpegs I have downloaded from newsgroups are HUGE. They are
MUCH larger than they need to be. I have some that are a big as five
MB.

Is there a freeware program that I can tell how large I want it to make
the file and it will make it that size with the best possible quality?
For example if I have a five meg jpeg, I want to tell the program to
reduce the size to 200 KB and have it do it while keeping the visual
quality as high as possible.

Thank you in advance for all replies.

Well, I checked it again today and .... you are right. It doesn't
appear to work. Email me if you want me to send you a copy. :-)

Regards, John.

To visually reduce the file size on a jpeg image
(Not the image resolution)

JPGReduce 1.3
http://tatuweb.eti.br/jpgreduce/jpgreduce13.exe
612Kb large file
or
http://baixaki.ig.com.br/site/detail5980.htm


The program is in Portuguese,
but the program is easy to use even if you don't speak Portuguese.
(I don't speak the language)

I have posted CyberView Image Lite to alt.binaries.freeware. IMO one of
the best freeware image compression utils.

Do you know how it compares to IrfanView's file sizes?
