Use Leanify for efficient lossless compression & re-compression of files in Windows
Leanify is a lossless file compression tool that can take any document, image, artwork, ebook, computer program, or file archive and manage to compress it without affecting its file integrity.
The package can also work as a utility to tweak certain files like removing meta data or re-compressing an already compressed archive which originally used a less efficient compression algorithm. This software is clever enough that a compressed JPEG which has lossy compression can be further re-compressed using lossless compression to save space, plus the document it is inserted into can also be compressed too. Clever stuff.
Formats Supported
The package can work with Office documents from version 2007-2013 (DOC, DOCX, XLS, XLSX and PPTX), OpenOffice files (ODT, ODS), an ebook format (EPUB), program and system files (EXE, DLL, SYS), other archives (TAR, ZIP), and more.
Console Interface
Leanify runs via a console user interface which will be more suited to users who think nothing of diving into the Windows console whenever they need to work with files. There are various command line options to perform different actions. Presently the command line options include how many iterations to compress, the maximum recursive depth, quiet mode for zero commentary on file actions or verbose output.
Drag and Drop Supported
A drag and drop action is also supported and will trigger an immediate compression process.
Batch Compression
Batch compression scripts is also fully supported which can make this console software a real time-saver for busy system administrators.
Backup Files Before Compressing Them
Users would be wise to make a copy of any files before they pass them through Leanify because the software will overwrite the original file(s) during the compression process. Just in case a compression or re-compression proves to be less lossy than expected, taking a copy of file(s) to be compressed is always a good idea anyway.
