To test the service, we tried optimizing images saved directly from a digital camera, and from scans from slides.
#JPEGMINI SERVER DOWNLOAD#
You can upload single images to optimize (or register to upload entire albums and export them to Picasa and Flickr) and download the results. You can try JPEGmini out for yourself as a free service at. Rather than using an arbitrary amount of compression as in Photoshop (low, medium, high), JPEG mini applies the optimum amount of compression for each given image, while maintaining existing perceived visual quality. This features enables JPEGmini to apply the optimal amount of compression to each photograph. ICVT developed a perceptual quality measure that imitates the qualities of the human visual system. JPEGmini works by iteratively reoptimizing existing JPEGs using their own perceptual quality measure. In this article we test the new service, and interview the CTO. The results, as you will see below, are smaller files that look visually identical to the original images. The patented algorithm developed by ICVT allows JPEGmini to compress images just below the level where perceived artifacts appear. Developed by ICTV, an Israeli startup company, JPEGmini works within the existing JPEG standard to optimize the size of JPEGs for faster downloads and lower storage costs. JPEGmini is image optimization technology that reduces the size of JPEGs by up to 5 or 6 times their original size, while maintaining resolution and perceived quality.
