Nowadays, cameras and cell phones can take very high-quality photos, whose weight can be massive, thus making it difficult to share them in popular social media.
Black Bird Image Optimizer lets you reduce the file size of your images without an appreciable quality loss. It also lets you make adjustments to their brightness, blur, contrast, and color parameters.
The program is really easy to use. First, you need to upload an image from your collection. Then, you can control the size of the resulting file using the Quality button. You can change the percentage settings between 5 and 95. Also, you can add blur, increase or decrease the brightness and contrast parameters, and use a different color palette. You can preview the resulting file and check its size directly onscreen, before saving it. If you are not satisfied, you can make further adjustments until you reach the desired result.
In general, it is a good and easy-to-use program for novice and basic users. If you are a professional, then you may feel that it lacks some advanced controls.
The use of the shareware version is limited to 20 images. If you like the program and intend to use it longer, then you will need to purchase a license.
