mozjpeg
A JPEG encoder library that improves compression efficiency for higher quality and smaller file sizes.
What is mozjpeg?
MozJPEG is a JPEG encoder library developed by Mozilla that improves compression efficiency, resulting in higher visual quality and smaller file sizes for JPEG images. It is fully compatible with the JPEG standard and designed as a drop-in replacement for libjpeg, making it easy to integrate into existing image processing workflows.
Developers and engineers working on graphics programs, image processing tools, or web performance optimization who need efficient JPEG encoding.
Developers choose MozJPEG for its advanced compression techniques like trellis quantization and progressive encoding, which deliver better quality and smaller files without breaking compatibility with existing JPEG decoders.
