Speed Up Web Sites by Splitting Large Graphics

Russian Federation (SANEPR.com) January 9, 2009 -- ForthTech Co announces the release of Image Splitter, a Web design automation tool to optimize page loading time by cutting large images into smaller pieces and applying optimal compression settings to each piece. Image Splitter is designed to remove the hassle of selecting the best optimization to make Web pages load faster without having to make sacrifices in image quality.

About Image Splitter

Image Splitter slices large images into pieces to cut down the time required for a Web page to load. In addition to providing the ability for a Web browser to download smaller image chunks concurrently, the product automatically detects and applies the most appropriate compression algorithms and optimal compression settings to each individual slice, thus speeding up Web page loading times without sacrificing its visual appearance.

With Image Splitter, it's possible to avoid the compression artifacts introduced by lossy algorithms such as JPEG and GIF, and increase the apparent visual quality of large images while reducing the total size of a Web page and speeding up its loading time at the same time. To achieve that without Image Splitter, one would need hours of trial and error in choosing the appropriate compression methods and settings for each slice of an image. Image Splitter makes that happen completely automatically.

Image Splitter makes it easy to design graphic-heavy Web sites by automating the creation of image-based navigation and menus. The product automatically cuts images representing various navigation elements or menu items into separate pieces, and makes online hot-tracking work as fast as when off-line. Image Splitter automatically generates HTML tables with colspan and rowspan tags. Supporting a variety of Web image formats such as JPEG, GIF, and PNG, and recognizing targeted events such as ALT, TARGET, OnMouseOver, and OnMouseOut, Image Splitter is the perfect tool for any serious Web designer. Owners of large Web sites with lots of graphics will appreciate the ability of Image Splitter to split many images at the same time in a fully-automatic batch mode.
