![]() ![]() Total disk space saved after re-compression with JPEGmini: Total size of files after re-compression with JPEGmini: Total size of files before re-compression with JPEGmini: Bulk re-compression statistics with JPEGmini Measured I now use JPEGmini on top of these files, post-processing them once more for an even more dramatic reduction in file size. This has always made a dramatic shrinkage in file size. Sometimes I check the visual result but typically these settings work well enough. I’ve settled on a 75% quality setting which I dip beneath for extra-large files that require a bit more compression. I usually save jpeg files as Progressive jpegs to the sRGB colour space. I’ve run this on image files that I have already pre-processed in Photoshop using the Save for Web feature. As files are re-compressed the app slides a miniaturised version of each into its interface and various counters are incremented: the number of photos processed, the total file size processed and the percentage of file size reduction attained during the current run and an accumulated file size reduction attained since the app was first used. You can drag files to be compressed onto its interface or you can select them from a standard file-select dialog. You can choose to have JPEGmini re-compress files and then overwrite the original versions or to save them to a different destination of your choice. The interface is minimal, as are configurable options. I’ve been using the standalone application on Windows and enjoying some very interesting results. You can opt into the use of a web uploader and a mobile SDK. There are separate server modules for developers which can be addressed through a command line or integrated into an existing image-processing workflow. It comes in two formats: a standalone app for Windows or iOS, or as a suite that includes the desktop app and Photoshop, Lightroom and Capture One plug-ins. I still use it and I’ve also recently found an even better way of compressing web images. ![]()
