Google's JPEG encoder reduces image size by 35%, could help you save mobile data in the future

Guetzli uses what Google’s calling a “psychovisual model” to reduce file size, which approximates color perception and “visual masking” more thoroughly than other encoders. This, however, comes at a cost, and in this case that’s time, as Guetzli is decidedly slower than other image compression methods out there.

As you can see, the new encoder fares better than libjpeg, although, as we said above, it needs more time to produce results.
