jpeg-archive VS ImgixSwift

Etc etc. I want to keep them all in one place primarily so they are easier to back up via several means (rsync, btrfs snapshots, S3 sync, etc) as well has having local access to them at all times. I process the images with jpeg-archive, which keeps them reasonably sized with no loss of quality, but the videos are too big—I archive those to S3 reduced redundancy storage and delete the local copy. Using VP9 and AV1 I keep a local copy that is good enough, but I can always go back to the originals if needed. I never re-encode!

Are you sure you are using the right program? The only result for that program I found does not use those parameters: https://github.com/danielgtaylor/jpeg-archive#jpeg-compare

For JPEGs I would say don't convert them, but run them through something like jpeg-archive and call it a day:

There are services like imgix out there which are pretty cost effective and take a lot of the effort out of images. Aside from requesting a specific size and applying transforms in the URL parameters you can also use format=auto which will check the browser's user agent and deliver a compatible, optimized format. Super easy to setup over the top of an existing site too since they have a web folder option which means you can leverage an existing image host. Alternatively you can link it to an S3 bucket.
