Often larger image on any webpage or a blog makes the webpage to load slowly. On a slower network or hosting it may take ages to load which annoys the user or reader at times. The response time of any webpage depends on the page size which in turn depends on the number of images and size of images in the page. As the the size of the image increases along with the the number, it makes things horrible. Often publishers take considerable time to resize the image to make it ready for the web. Some of the tools available to do this job are not free. Today we are going to discuss about a JPEG resize tool for Mac called SmallImage2.

SmallImage2 is a handy tool in Macintosh to resize and compress the JPEG file very easily. Batch Processing of image can also be done using this tool. The tool also helps you to remove the profile information from the image file without losing the quality of the image. The tool has a very simple interface to use and has got a preview option for the compression.

As you can look at the screen shot of the tool, you can retrieve the Image’s EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format a standard for JPEG Image compression), compression ratio and other important information. The tool was developed by a Swiss physicist Fabien Conus. SmallImage uses part of ImageMagick API which is nothing but a software suite to read, create and convert variety of Image formats.
