ProJPEG™ is an easy to use, high performance tool for preparing optimized JPEG images for the Web. It is a file format plug-in for Adobe Photoshop 3.0 and greater. In contrast to other JPEG capable tools ProJPEG™ provides many unique abilities to aid you in the creation of optimized JPEGs for the Web without trial and error that can save you valuable production time while resulting in smaller, faster JPEG files for your Web site.
ProJPEG™ has been the top Macintosh tool for Web-graphics JPEG production since 1995 and is now available for Windows as well in version 3.0.
By design, ProJPEG™ is optimized for fast, efficient production of JPEG graphics for the Web. It is specific to Web-graphics, and not intended for other JPEG format uses such as the compression of high-resolution images for archival storage.
What Does ProJPEG™ Have To Offer?
ProJPEG™ is a world-class production tool full of power for the seasoned Web design professional, but still offering simple and intuitive ease for those just getting started. The most advanced capabilities for creating Web-ready JPEG graphics are at your finger tips with ProJPEG™.
*** Superior compression abilities that out-perform Adobe's JPEG and all the other Web graphics tools for the smallest JPEG file sizes
*** A blazingly fast, amazingly interactive, extremely intuitive, and (mostly) aesthetically pleasing interface for your working pleasure
*** Image previewing allows you to contrast original image quality to JPEG compressed image quality simultaneously
*** Live absolute file size display provides fast, accurate information on the compressed size of your JPEG file as you select parameters so you can always select the best parameters with out trial and error
*** Download time estimation provides feedback for approximate download times providing improved context for file size information
*** Full range controls allow complete control of JPEG compression and do not limit you to any upper or lower range as other tools may
*** Advanced image smoothing controls to improve compression and image quality
*** Sampling control allows control over emphasis - better quality or better compression
*** Support for baseline JPEG encoding as well as progressive encoding, which allows for incremental image display in Web browsers
*** Huffman code optimization capability for improved JPEG compression
*** Powerful presets capability and ergonomic work-flow initializations allow you to work smarter and faster with minimum steps to produce optimized, Web-ready JPEG images.
*** Full Year 2000 compliance (This may seem silly to put in for a tool that saves JPEGs but we do get asked the question a lot.)
