Free software every day

[soup]

Anybody familiar with todays' giveaway, ImageBadger. I converted this jpg, 132 Kb's.



To png format, 404 KB's.



Is this because I converted it straight across & didn't use any filters etc? The png just seems to have bloated right up.

PNG is a lossless compression format, think of it as a (transparently) zip-compressed bitmap. A larger file size than the jpeg is normal, but it seems ImageBadger's algorithm is still not on par with XnView's & IrfanView's, especially with pngout. Better than MS Paint though.

Thanks for the info anonymez, I have XnView, so this is gone.

Any opinions?

Hi Burrell,

Got it THANKS.

Burrell .. have a question .. these GAOTD Registration will NOT work unless you are logged in on the internet .. right!?!?

If so, that kinda stinks!

BTW ... there is a Freeware Version of this program and it is only a little older and no expiration ... version 3.5.0.25. http://www.emsisoft.com/en/software/free/

Thanks,
G!

Correct. It needs to check if the giveaway period is still valid.

Glad it worked out for you

Cheers
