Reduce size, not quality.

JPEGmini is a patented photo recompression technology, which significantly reduces the size of photographs without affecting their perceptual quality. The technology works in the domain of baseline JPEG, resulting in files that are fully compatible with any browser, photo software or device that support the standard JPEG format.

JPEGmini was developed by Beamr, an imaging technology company that powers some of the world''s top web publishers, social networks and media companies. Beamr is led by serial entrepreneurs and technology experts, possessing an extensive experience in media compression and delivery. Our goal is to improve the user experience and reduce the costs associated with storing and transmitting media files. We are committed to supporting standard media formats, in order to make our technologies accessible by any user, device or platform.
