RIOT Optimizer

RIOT Optimizer has an easy to use interface to compare the original with the optimized image in real-time and instantly see the resulting file size. The image optimizer is lightweight, fast, and simple to use, yet powerful for advanced users.

Radical Image Optimization Tool (RIOT for short) is a free image optimizer that will let you to visually adjust compression parameters while keeping minimum filesize.

It uses a side by side (dual view) or single view interface to compare the original with the optimized image in real-time and instantly see the resulting file size.

RIOT is lightweight, fast, and simple to use, yet powerful for advanced users. You will be able to control compression, a number of colors, metadata settings, and much more, and select image format (JPG, GIF, or PNG) for your output file. Integrate the RIOT app with your favorite application. IrfanView, GIMP, XnView are supported.

Features and Highlights

• Open many image types including rare/scientific types
• Save and optimize jpeg, gif, and png with a simple, clean user interface
• Automatic optimization selects the most suitable format and parameters
• Works in dual view: (original – optimized image) or single view (optimized image). Automatic preview of resulting image
• In-place compare function (alternatively display the original image over the optimized image to notice small pixel changes)
• Compress files to a desired file size threshold
• Fast processing (all is done in memory); see instant results including resulting filesize
• Batch support (process multiple files at once)
• Transparency handling options
• Decide if you want to keep metadata (comments, iptc, Adobe XMP, EXIF profiles, ICC profiles)
• Unsupported metadata is removed
• Transfer metadata between image formats (destination format must support them)
• Common tools: pan and zoom, rotate, flip
• Basic image adjustments: brightness, contrast, gamma, invert
• Visually reduce the number of unique colors for png and gif images in order to reduce file size (two quantization methods are available: xiaolin wu and neuquant neural net)
• Resize image by using well known resample filters (ex: lanczos3, catmull rom, bicubic, and others)
• Out-of-the-box support for external png optimizers (optipng, pngout, etc)
• The compression and the results are comparable to those of commercial products, even higher
• Adaptive logarithmic tone mapping algorithm (drago) used for hdr images
