 Post comment/review
Comment summary: RIOT is praised for its efficient image compression and versatile features, such as preview mode and setting specific size limits. Users highlight the simplicity and small memory footprint. However, concerns are raised about adware and malware issues, particularly with some installers. Users also note potential functionality issues, such as problems with batch resizing and the disappearance of the batch optimizer on certain platforms. Some prefer alternatives like XnConvert due to these drawbacks.

The best program I found to really compress pictures to the maximum with the full set of settings.

Remember to un-check metadata removing options if you want to avoid losing them :)

Riot-setup.exe contains a trojan, use caution. See this VirusTotal analysis.

  1. Can not batch resize ( downscale )
  2. On windows10, when I minimize the batch optimizer, it just disappears, leaving nothing on the taskbar. I have to terminate it with task manager.
  3. No download mirror for portable application, only dropbox links available, making it inaccessible in china.
  4. Free but not FOSS. Don't know whether it's a adware/trojan or not.

Efficient tool. I use it when I have to publish some heavy image on my blog. Preview mode is great and the soft is simple to use.

Please, one warning only for all the tests. It’s a false positive.
