BetterJPEG is a photo editor that was specifically designed to avoid re-compression loss when editing and re-saving photos. Usually every time, you open, edit and save a JPG file, it loses some quality due to re-compression of the file. BetterJPEG however only re-compresses the parts of the image that have been changed, allowing you to perform various operations with minimal or no quality loss at all. The features include lossless rotation, flip, crop (free or fixed aspect), lossless text insertion as well as red eye removal and more. The support for EXIF data as text insertion is pretty handy, as it allows you to enter information directly from the EXIF data into the image (e.g F-stop, date, exposure etc.) which can be used for reference or in combination with copyright notices.

The JPEG image format is inherently lossy. Because of this, each edit and subsequent recompression of JPEG images in general purpose image editors, such as Adobe Photoshop, results in a progressive degradation of image quality.

Fortunately there is, in most cases, a way to avoid this unnecessary recompression. If you just need to quickly process a group of JPEG photos from your latest vacation - rotate, crop, remove red-eye, imprint date or comments - you do not need to compromise on image quality. Better JPEG is a batch JPEG editor that can do all of this without unnecessary loss of image quality.
