UPX is a tool that can reduce the size of system files (EXE and DLL) significantly. No additional software is required after compression and some programs will even run faster due to fewer read operations.
UPX Tool is a GUI wrapper for UPX, able to both compress and decompress.
There is an unofficial update created by Lupo PenSuite (UPX Tool+ 1.1.1) that can be download here. The main advantage of this update is functionality with UPX 3.0 (improved compression via LZMA).

Just remember that programs compressed using UPX will get reported as a virus by some anti virus software.
Have to love false positives and lazy programmers.

Is there any reason I shouldn't use this on my apps?

@a: Just tried Free UPX. It's neat. Likewise, I prefer it to UPX Shell because it provides more options / information on the main screen. Good heads up on that. Thanks.

@a: Isn't Free UPX just another graphical front end for UPX? So, should you be saying "UPX Shell is just too simple" rather than UPX Tool? Just curious.

UPX tool is just too simple for me. I've been using Free UPX. http://www.pazera-software.com/products/free-upx/ (also portable with nice features.)

UPX Tool+ 1.1 is no longer directly linked on the Lupo PenSuite site, but it is still available in the full download of the PenSuite package (along with about 150MB packed of other programs): http://www.lupopensuite.com/download.htm
