    Recently Mozilla announced its JPEG encoding library with following improvements as quoted from Mozilla blog itself
    The major feature in this release is trellis quantization, which improves compression for both baseline and progressive JPEGs without sacrificing anything in terms of compatibility. Previous versions of mozjpeg only improved compression for progressive JPEGs.

    Other improvements include:

    • The cjpeg utility now supports JPEG input in order to simplify re-compression workflows.
    • We’ve added options to specifically tune for PSNR, PSNR-HVS-M, SSIM, and MS-SSIM metrics.
    • We now generate a single DC scan by default in order to be compatible with decoders that can’t handle arbitrary DC scans.

    How To Install ?

    - Download source code from <a href="https://github.com/mozilla/mozjpeg/releases/tag/v2.0" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Release mozjpeg v2.0 · mozilla/mozjpeg · GitHub</a>
    - Extract it
    - Install required libs i.e autoconf, automake, make, nasm & libtool

    Now let's build :

    - Once completed, the libraries will be installed in /opt/libmozjpeg

    ​

    For usage read MAN pages from : /opt/libmozjpeg/man

    You can use jpegtran located under /opt/libmozjpeg/bin to compress the image.

    That's good and would definitely help companies like Facebook who can save TBs of data through that optimisation; but I'd want something that brings a reduction of about 30-50%! That'd be killer!
