Google has developed a new open-source image compression algorithm that it says can reduce the size of JPEG images by 35 percent. The algorithm, dubbed Guetzil (that's Swiss German for cookie), is ...

Google has developed and open-sourced a new JPEG algorithm that reduces file size by about 35 percent—or alternatively, image quality can be significantly improved while keeping file size constant.

Image compression, once the domain of the PC, is becoming pervasive in embedded environments. This trend is largely a result of the increased processing power and multimedia capabilities of new DSPs.

Google claims that its new Guetzli software can produce JPEG files up to 35% than other available methods -- but our tests find only limited support for that claim.

But it wasn’t the one the Web started with. In fact, the first mainstream graphical browser, NCSA Mosaic, didn’t initially support inline JPEG files—just inline GIFs, along with a couple of other ...

The compression algorithm we are perhaps most familiar with is zip compression – although it's more formally known as 'Deflate'. This is a good example of a 'lossless' compression algorithm ...

You may have noticed small, blocky irregularities in JPEG images. These compression artifacts are a result of how the format’s algorithm reduces file size, and they can be very distracting.

Google has announce it has created a new algorithm called Guetzli that's been made to cut down the standard JPEG image file size by 35 percent.

JPEG is a lossy compression format conceived explicitly for making photo files smaller and it exploits the imperfect characteristics of our ... Huffman encoding is a lossless compression algorithm.
