Blubox - Blubox (PC)

Blubox is a quick and easy-to-use software application for compressing and sharing digital photos and other files. Its main advantage is that it offers the ability to hugely compress image files without sacrificing overall picture quality.

Blubox is similar to zip but uses powerful image compression algorithms to compress over 60 popular image formats. It offers professionals the ability to send large amounts of image files via email at hugely increased speed. For a wedding photographer, for example this could mean uploading an entire album's-worth of images to a printer in a fraction of the time it takes now.

Unlike most Zip tools BluBox also includes a fully featured Preview and Slideshow feature, so that saves you having to extract your images to view them. Note that currently there is no Vista 64 bit support so do not buy it if you are running this version of the OS.
