People preparing images and documents for websites, email, or storage can use FileOptimizer to reduce file sizes while retaining their contents. FileOptimizer processes many file types, including common image formats and PDFs, in one batch.
File queue and batch processing
Add files to FileOptimizer’s list, then start optimization for the queued items. A mixed batch can include different supported formats, so there is no need to run a separate job for every file type.
This workflow suits tasks such as preparing a group of images and documents for upload. Each file is handled according to its format, and the result remains in that format.
- Queue files together for a single optimization run
- Process supported images, PDFs, and other file types in the same list
Format-specific size reduction
FileOptimizer applies compression methods suited to each file type. It aims to reduce the amount of space files occupy without reducing image quality or changing document content. Results depend on the file: some compress more than others, and larger or more complex files may take longer to process.
Common supported formats include PNG, JPEG, GIF, and PDF. This makes the program relevant for image collections and document sets that need to be stored or shared with smaller file sizes.
Choosing files to optimize
The main task is to add the files that need processing and run the optimization. Since the goal is to reduce file size while preserving content, the resulting files can continue in the same image or document workflows as before.
Keep separate copies of important originals before processing, particularly when the files are difficult to recreate.
Pros
- Processes a mixed file queue in a single batch
- Lossless optimization preserves file contents
- Supports common image formats and PDFs
Cons

System requirements: Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, Windows 11 · 32-bit and 64-bit · 128 MB free memory · 300 MB disk space
Does FileOptimizer reduce quality?
It is designed for lossless size reduction, preserving file content and image quality.
Can FileOptimizer process several file types together?
Yes. Add supported files to the queue and process them in one batch; optimization methods depend on each file’s format.
Which file formats does FileOptimizer support?
It supports many formats, including PNG, JPEG, GIF, and PDF.
