This week, Google announced their project Guetzli, a new open source JPEG encoder that can save up to 35% of file size. This is great, but to put things into perspective, we also have to consider that it’s up to 100 times slower as Mozilla’s mozJPEG encoder and in many cases it doesn’t achieve the same quality at the same file size either.
