Pros
- Does what it says, file size significantly reduced.
- Simple program to use.
- Lots of customizing options on the 'Settings for Images' tab under the main program settings (.i.e. retain original pixel size, preserve/create lossless format, retain original format).
Cons
- Option to replace original file (i.e. no duplicate file created) only available on paid Server Version.
- Only able to reduce file size of BMP and TIFF by allowing image to be re-sized or converted to JPG/PNG.
- Conversion process slower when creating/retaining lossless quality.
- Batch processing limited to 500 files at a time.
Summary
The program does what it says it will do and is straight-forward and easy to use. It offers a lot of options to convert/preserve formats and tweak image size/quality. I know that there are other programs that can compress JPGs a little more without compromising quality, but you have to pay for them. The conversion process seemed pretty quick, about 1-2 seconds per file when using the basic conversion options on JPGs. However, it was significantly slower (maybe 4-5 seconds each) when I started tweaking the options to create/retain lossless quality files. I deducted one star because you have to pay for the Server Version in order to convert the files in place and avoid creating a duplicate file and the 500 files at a time limit. I only tested it on JPEG, BMP, PNG, and TIFF, not GIF or EMF files.
Overall, I would say this is an excellent program to help save space or prep files for email/web/on-screen use and a good [free] program for retaining high quality images.

Pros
Automatically resizes, compresses, and/or crops images almost instantaneously while still maintaining quality. Requires very little input or configuration from the user, but additional options are available for those who want to tweak a bit.
Cons
None that I have been able to find.
Summary
Excellent, easy-to-use software. It's better than many of the commercial programs out there. Perfect for beginners and experienced users alike.

Great tool for speeding up load time of your web pages. I spent ages going thru each individual image on my site, after someone suggested using P'shop, "save for web" option. I had to do it all again when I found this, but it was worth it.
Cons
Can't find any
Summary
It even challenges PhotoShop

Hi Deemart,
The Pack&Go function works over the MAPI interface. Over this interface the application hands over the data to the operating system, which will send it to the appropriate e-mailing software. If your e-mailing software does not support this MAPI interface, you will get an error message.
Please check if your e-mail program supports this interface. Outlook Express does. Then check also if the software is assigned as default e-mail program over the Internet Options.
Please Wait
