Winapp2.ini Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 https://blog.mozilla.org/research/2014/03/05/introducing-the-mozjpeg-project/ Mozilla's building a jpeg encoder which should reduce jpeg size considerably without affecting image quality. Should be interesting to see where they take it. winapp2.ini additions thread winapp2.ini github Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corona Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 I'll stick with png whenever I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winapp2.ini Posted March 7, 2014 Author Share Posted March 7, 2014 agreed, but most websites (facebook being a prime example) serve jpegs mozjpeg will convert png to jpeg if it can do so losslessly (which would mean same quality using less disk space) winapp2.ini additions thread winapp2.ini github Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWebAtom Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 I wish WebP would take off. I'm Shane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winapp2.ini Posted March 7, 2014 Author Share Posted March 7, 2014 Same. This isn't a competing format though, just an enhanced encoder. I actually don't think firefox supports webp but some pages serve them if you're using Chrome winapp2.ini additions thread winapp2.ini github Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eL_PuSHeR Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 For me JPEG is obsolete. I prefer PNG most of the time. I really doubt a lossless JPEG would take less space than its PNG counterpart, unless it's not really lossless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted March 7, 2014 Moderators Share Posted March 7, 2014 mozjpeg will convert png to jpeg if it can do so losslessly (which would mean same quality using less disk space) Like others I prefer PNG since it's lossless. Although lossy JPEG does have its uses such as for embedding album art into music files without bloating them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
