New Startup JPEGmini Reduces Photos’ Size, Not Their Quality

When this was discussed last week people were deeply unimpressed.

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.

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.

I 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.

I was unable to distinguish a difference between their "technology" and ImageMagick's "convert -quality 75" on their demo image.

Smells bad to me.
