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.
Get the best from your JPEG photos, with no compromises!

Main Program Features:
Lossless Transformations - Rotation, Flip
Lossless Crop (free, fixed aspect, fixed size, predefined and user-defined aspects and sizes), composition guidelines (diagonals, golden mean, rule of thirds)
Lossless Canvas Enlargement
Highly Customizable Lossless Date/EXIF Info/Text insertion (position, font, size, color, background, language, format, etc.)
Advanced Lossless Red Eye Removal (anti-aliasing, adjustable size, sensitivity, darkening)
Copy/Paste to and from an external editor for local retouching without full recompression (lossless)
Batch image processing

Metadata preservation
