As you can see in the screenshot below, the options visible are very straightforward. The creator has put a great amount of work into it to make it as simple and intuitive as possible.
All too often there are full-featured and otherwise excellent programs, but with hard-to-use interfaces, thus preventing the majority of users to really get the most out of the program or even use it.
This isn’t necessarily a “feature,” but it certainly shouldn’t be ignored. That said, saying that doesn’t really help you find and use them all, so let’s briefly take a look at what makes RIOT so awesome. These basic, but crucial features are all included in RIOT.Īs I’ve previously mentioned already in the introduction of the article, RIOT has all the features you need in an image optimization application. Now what what would you want in a program that does these things? Some nice benefits are features like batch support to handle several images at one time, the ability to save in several and the most popular formats, and dual view, allowing you to see the before and after of the image, before the changes are made permanently. There are other tasks that fall under this category as well, but those are some of the basics and are certainly in RIOT. These are tasks like resizing, compressing, rotating, flipping, zooming, and making adjustments on brightness, contrast, gamma and invert. What I mean is that we often don’t do something or notice a need simply because we never knew there was a solution for it and perhaps optimizing images might be one of those things you didn’t know there was an excellent, free program for.įirst thing you need to know in order to understand the tasks that RIOT can accomplish for you is what falls under the category of “optimizing images.” The term “optimizing” makes the task sound quite technical, when in reality it’s things that not only all of us have the capability of doing, but also often want or need to do. But you will, especially after reading about Radical Image Optimization Tool, otherwise known as RIOT.
