New Startup JPEGmini Reduces Photos’ Size, Not Their Quality
- ColinWright 15y agoWhen this was discussed last week people were deeply unimpressed. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2940505 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2940505 Tests done by HNers suggested that the service introduced significant artifacts. One comment was: Custom quantization tables and chroma subsampling, with a bit of hype. ( http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2940759 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2940759 ) Others thought it did a really good job, but you have to scroll down that discussion to the bottom to find people who agree with the site's claims. I'm sceptical.
- Seba 15y agoI can only second that. I also tried some sprites we use. The service reduced the size by about 15%, but introduced clearly visible artefacts, especially around text. Not very convincing.
- X4 15y agopff read their harsh terms! They steal your rights completely on pictures you upload.
