Show HN: Taucoder – A Better JPEG Encoder
Hello, HN!
I'm Vidu, a fullstack dev with extensive past experience in image and video coding.
I wrote Taucoder, an image encoding service, in my spare time for fun and possibly
some profit? At the core of taucoder is a novel encoder that outperforms state-of-the
art JPEG encoders by an average 10-18% VMAF BD-rate (see evaluation: https://taucoder.com/doc/evaluation.html https://taucoder.com/doc/evaluation.html)
Thank you for your feedback. I'm in GMT+11 so might not reply immediately.
- kurtextrem 2y agoHow does it compare to jpegli?
- vidu-taucoder 2y agotau-coder produces about 10% smaller output for the same VMAF quality, compared to jpegli. The above evaluation link contains evaluation directly against jpegli
- breck 2y agoInteresting problem space, but I wish you threw people right into a usable tool. It reminds me of this site, which someone posted to ShowHN a few weeks ago: https://www.converay.com/ https://www.converay.com/ I've been using that site regularly ever since b/c he just threw me right into it!

- vidu-taucoder 2y agointeresting. I was originally targeting devs (with an API and golang/python CLI tools on GitHub), but I think you make a good point
