  • smlr

    Re-encode jpeg images with no perceivable quality loss.

  • That's a shame -- it means you are stuck with the JPEG artifacts. Re-saving it as a lower-quality JPEG will likely be worse than the result you would have had coming directly from the source image. https://github.com/jasonmoo/smlr could help you do that.

  • jpegtran

    jpegtran fork with significant performance improvements

  • You could use jpegtran and specify a custom scan file to re-quantize the DCT data without recalculating it: https://github.com/cloudflare/jpegtran/blob/master/wizard.txt ... if you are willing to go down the rabbithole, this is probably the best way to reduce the size of a JPEG with minimal loss in quality.

  • knusperli

    A deblocking JPEG decoder

  • If you're going for full re-encoding, it might help to decode the current JPEG with https://github.com/google/knusperli ... but if you re-JPEG that you might have second-order artifacts. Give it a try. Then compress with https://github.com/google/guetzli

  • guetzli

    Perceptual JPEG encoder

  • If you're going for full re-encoding, it might help to decode the current JPEG with https://github.com/google/knusperli ... but if you re-JPEG that you might have second-order artifacts. Give it a try. Then compress with https://github.com/google/guetzli
