The Radical Image Optimization Tool (RIOT for short) was developed to be a free image optimizer that will let you to visually adjust compression parameters while keeping minimum filesize.

RIOT plugin can be used to provide a image saving method for your applications especially when this feature would be a nice extra and you preffer to use a third party component for that rather than program it from scratch.

Possible uses of the RIOT plugin:
· an image viewer that wants to add the “Save for web” feature or compress to size
· a graphic editing program or a photo editor that wants to add the “Save for web” feature or compress to size
· a computer program that is not mainly intended to process images but lets user export the results as images
· a web application might need “Compress to size” to limit the filesize of uploaded images. An interface to use the DLL in a web application is needed for this.
