FREEWARE SPOTLIGHT

By Deanna McElveen

There are many reasons to make your files smaller, from compressing images for a website so they load faster to sending dog pics to your cousin Brody who uses dial-up Internet in the swamp.

FileOptimizer by Spanish developer Javier Gutiérrez Chamorro is a collection of over 90 free and/or open-source programs that all work together to do one thing: squish your files down to their smallest size without messing them up. So if you’re just too cheap to spend more than $2.95 on a flash drive, this program is for you!
