    I use Photoshop, but that's because I do lots of editing before saving. If you just want to save jpegs at various compressions, you can do it with virtually any image editor. Try IrfanView. It's free.

    Angie, are you thinking of something like Stuffit?

    Rather than just an image editor, maybe?


    I do make smaller file versions of images for the web, with Photoshop, but I am sure you know how to do that, so I think you are looking for a real file shrinking/compressing application, like Stuffit. Maybe.

    Stuffit says they reduce the size of jpgs by ~30%, depends on the image of course.

    What software are you using now? What about it makes you want to change?

    What OS are you using? (Please be specific.)

    ...indeed...if you're on a Mac (I'm 10.8-something or other) it's easy to create an app that'll resize in bulk for you using "terminal"...YMMV...
