Ascomp PDF-compress provides PDF compression so you can optimise your PDF files so that they don't take up more storage space than necessary. Depending on the structure and content of the PDF document, up to 95 percent compression can be achieved. In a test with more than 1,000 randomly selected PDF files from different sources, an average compression ratio of close to 50 percent was achieved.

Ascomp PDF-compress uses different approaches to compression. For example, images contained in a document can be lossless compressed, special optimisation technology (MRC) can be applied, and blank pages and annotations can be removed from the PDF structure. Optionally, image quality may also degrade in stages, and optimisation for web display may be performed.

Photo Anonymizer helps you maintain your anonymity: Remove unclaimed metadata from your image files with just a few clicks! The free Windows software supports all common metadata standards, such as EXIF, DICOM, IPTC and XMP. 

Did you know that Internet browsers often store the source of an image download in the respective file and thus can be traced for years to come, from which Internet address an image was downloaded? With Photo Anonymizer you can also completely remove these "alternate data streams"! Make sure that third parties no longer receive any information about which page you downloaded an image from!

Ashampoo Burning Studio 2021 is a powerful disc burning software for CD, DVD and Blu-ray discs. The software quickly burns files, audio and video to all recordable disc types but also specialised media such as BDXL or M-Disc. The built-in disc ripping auto-detects track names and easily turns audio files into custom audio discs complete with individually designed covers and inlays. Playlists can be auto-generated during ripping for easy playback in the desired song order. The program can also finalise discs to make them playable on older retail players or car radios. Built-in disc spanning automatically spreads data across multiple volumes if it can't fit on a single disc. This makes it easy to burn entire photo, document or song collections to disc.

Ashampoo Music Studio 2020 is powerful versatile music software to edit, cut and burn audio files.

Organising music and sound collections is another core strength of Ashampoo Music Studio 2020. Metadata can be modified, songs normalised, and tracks renamed based on customisable naming schemes. Mix Tape helps users create song mixes with cross-fading or custom pauses.

Abelssoft StartupStar

StartUpStar eliminates startup irritants! It’s an almost universal problem on Windows PCs — unneeded programs that run on startup, adding extraneous time to the boot process. StartUpStar from Abelssoft has something to say about this. The program presents a list of startup items, and then let’s you decide which ones to keep or remove. The software works with 64-bit startup programs, includes items from the Windows Task Scheduler and allows the user to specify delayed starts for individual programs. Far too many Windows programs are so bold to think that they’re indispensable, and should be started with every boot, without even asking the user. If nothing is done to prevent it, they’ll load with every Windows startup, whether they’re needed or not. It's time to take control.

 Abelssoft Tagman

Abelssoft’s Tagman puts all the music files on your PC into order. The program pays attention to the ID3 tags of each music file. These metafiles are used by media players to show you the name of the song, who recorded it, from which album the song came, and in which year it was recorded or launched. Many files lack ID3 tags or have incomplete information, so Tagman uses specific servers to find this metadata on the internet. Even better: the software can also automatically detect and download the album cover.
