MozJPEG

MozJPEG is a free, open-source library project that improves JPEG compression efficiency to produce smaller files and higher visual quality. It is intended for graphics programs and image-processing tools, and programs using the libjpeg API can integrate it without MozJPEG-specific integration code. It is compatible with the JPEG standard and the vast majority of deployed JPEG decoders. When converting other formats to JPEG, it uses trellis quantization to target the quality-to-file-size ratio. Its progressive encoding with jpegrescan optimization can losslessly reduce the size of a JPEG when used with jpegtran. The project’s improvements can be disabled at runtime, returning it to libjpeg-turbo behavior. The repository includes a demo cjpeg command-line tool, which is not intended for serious use. Build instructions cover Unix-like systems, macOS, Linux, and Windows with Visual C++ or MinGW. The GitHub repository identifies version 4.1.1 on its latest release page. MozJPEG points users to libjpeg-turbo documentation for additional build help; its repository does not state security certifications or compliance claims.
