JPEGmini Lite App Reviews

I cannot see the advantage of this tool, I tried it and I am very disappointed. Compared to Apples Photos 148kB JPEGmini does 186kB.

I used to use tinypng.com as it works great, but this is going to be my new go-to app for compressing images. It’s fast, simple to use, and can automatically save the image in the new file size.

Guys, Even after upgrading the Pro, JPEG Mini Pro can’t resize like 2 panoramas? Come on.

works better than others Ive tried. Price for full version is too high in my opinion.

Its true that it reduces file size in a simple way but it does have fallbacks, one being you can only do 20 photos a day and that to remove that limit you have to pay a whooping $20 (regularly) or $9 on sale. This app does not justify the price tag of $20 and I could only see my self paying $5 or less, as I have only used this application once in a while.

Great little app that makes it so much easier for me to make the files i use for my websites smaller. Just drag and drop and your pictures will be smaller. I am thinking about buying the normal version as this one only lets you do 20 pictures a day but i also like it that it counts the pictures you did that day that way I keep track at how much work i did. Thanks to this app the pictures for my sites became smaller so my site is faster and you dont loose any quality so its a win win.

Great!!! Very good app. Definitely worth its price. Easy and effective!

every time I try to compress an image I get this error message "none of the photos could be optimized by jpegmini"

Incredible application

Great app! when will a verision be available for the Iphone?

I will be buying the full version. Tested it on a folder of 13 pictures that was 41.2mb. Reduced it down to 14.4mb. Over half the file size. I compared an orginal and a compressed image side by side and could not see a difference. Amazing app so far.

Ill be upgrading the full version Im sure so I can convert more than 20 photos a day, but the app requires zero effort and produces amazing compression on hi-res photos. Awesome!!!

I love this app and think it works great, but these last two days I havent been able to open it! I have tried many ways to open it, but nothing happens anymore. Please solve this ASAP, this app is awesome and I would like to keep on using it because it has worked great up until now.

Ive tried a number of JPEG optimization tools in the last fourteen years. Photoshops Bicubic Algorithm came along about PS7 and got subsequently better in CS1 and CS2. From that point until now there was nothing significantly better. im working on a graphic intensive web site and had saved all the images at 50% in the Save For Web dialog which was my compromise between file size and quality. (PS Bicubic has a huge jump in file size between 50% and 51%). To test out the value of JPEGmini I duplicated half a dozen images that were already optimized for the site and ran them through the app. Then I dropped a layer of the JPEGmini image on the original Photoshop optimized image and zoomed in while cliciing on and off the visibility eyeball to observe any differences. At 100% there was no perceptible difference. At higher zoom percentages there was a slight difference but it wasnt obvious what was going on because artifacting didnt increase. The results of my test convinced me to do the in-app purchase to the full version and proceeded to optimize all my site images. Individual image file sizes dropped from 10 to 25%. To me that was a significant and worthwhile saving in page load times. Im sold.

As a graphic artist and web designer, in a world where image compression is central to my job, I was pretty excited about this program when I heard about it. After downloading and experimenting with this program, and creating some compressed JPEG images which I could compare to compressed versions I created in other programs like Adobe Photoshop, I can definitely say it *does not* preserve any special amount of the original JPEG image quality. And more than this, the compression is quite aggressive. If youre viewing a zoomed out version of a high resolution photograph this might not make much of a difference (though youll definitely lose crisp details, such as those in someones hair), and youre also going to lose out on quality when viewing a photograph on a medium which takes advantage of a higher resolution (whether on a high-desnsity screen such as that on the new iPad or Retina MacBook Pros). I wouldnt dream of feeding my photo collection through this application unless I was deseparate for storage—and storage is not expensive. It is definitely useless for any sort of professional application. Although I will be deleting this program, Im still giving it at least one star because it provides a very easy compression system for JPEG graphics to people who cant afford more expensive programs, or dont know how to take proper advantage of them. And although I wouldnt recommend to them that they use this program on any photograhps which mean a great deal to them (plan for the future—even if the results are acceptable now, who knows what you will think five years, or ten years down the road, when the storage saved is meaningless) it can serve some basic purposes, such as in sharing photo collections with someone to view through a medium, like email, where sending limits can easily limit an email to a few relatively uncomrpessed photographs. Edit: Also, another reviewer suggested that the full version (in my opinion overpriced at $20) would add the ability to save JPEG images with no loss in quality. I see absolutely no clear language to suggest that this would be the case, nor, having seen what this program can do, do I believe that it would be technically feasible anyway (especially no loss with this sort of file size decrease—technically impossible).

I use a 60D camera with 18 megapixels. Why they had to stop at 17 is beyond me. Please make it useable for us.

fun way to experiment with this photo compression technology. I cant really see a difference in quality (thats a good thing).

I am very impressed with the compression performance - compressed images are virtually indiscernible from the originals despite the very high compression ratio. I could definitely use this software to save some previous space on my limited Macbook Air SSD. Also, the interface is one of the best I have seen!

All i can say is wow, since i have post many of my pictures on my website, and the free version of Weebly only lets you upload files 5mb and lower, i found this to be very helpful. If you dont compress more than 20 photos a day, then stick with the free version.

Critical upgrade ! Finnaly JPEGmini supports 28MegaPixels With more than 20 years in imaging, Im impressed ! I personnaly checked with more than hundreds of photos. I have professional NEC monitor, carefully calibrated. One by one, I have flipped between JPEG, and JPEGmini and found JPEGmini to be absolutly identical. Amazing technology.
