Google’s Jpegli open-source library can compress high quality images 35% more than traditional JPEG codecs


Google has released the Jpegli open-source library for advanced JPEG coding that maintains backward compatibility while delivering an up to 35%

Google Research has been working on improving the compression of data ( Brotli), audio (e.g. Lyra V2), and images with a project such as WebP for many years in order to speed up the web and make it consume less bandwidth for dollar savings and lower carbon emissions. Support both an encoder and decoder complying with the original JPEG standard (8-bit) and offering API/ABI compatibility with libjpeg-turbo and MozJPEG. Anyway, it’s easy to try with various image files and compare the results against jpeg-turbo, MozJPEG, or graphical tools like GIMP making sure to use the same compression settings.
