Optimizes JPEG images, performing magic to reduce size, or optionally stripping metadata for even further savings, or performing lossy re-compression for potentially extraordinary size reduction.

I like this idea, and it’s actually freed up a significant amount of space. Being able to take a 5MB file and knock it down to 1MB while maintaining excellent visual quality.. is astonishing

I don’t really care about this, but I do use it occasionally to cut apart videos.

Quite straightforward to use for simple video editing and appending. It took me almost no time to learn.

Good for transcoding and merging audio into video.

I use avidemux_gtk
- there is also avidemux2_cli

A password manager.

I found KeePassx while exploring replacing Firefox, and when looking at replacing web browser components. I wanted something cross-platform and open source.
