JPEGmini App Reviews

… compared to their web service: — will not compress files under 2MB (thus its useless for most web publications like blogs etc, whereas the algo works very well on small files too) — cant chose final destination, but will overwrite your originals JPEGs In the end: dont buy this until this corrections are made (if) Their web service is free and doesnt have these limitations.

En local, inutile ! Toujours le même message : "None of the photos were optimized because their resolution is not supported (JPEGmini for Mac supports 2-17 Megapixels)

Principle is very good. Realisation is poor. - Mono-CPU. That is not 2012 performance. - No possibility to choose destination. - No settings of any sort...

Its a very good tool. I have a wish: could it be possible to use it from the command line or applescript ? I try to automate my workflows as much as possible and that would help a lot.

Saw no significant difference (significant may be too strong a word - no difference would be better) between the originals and the converted files - recommend it highly and a real space saver.

The app is just awesome, really optimizes space. The only complain that I have is that, sometimes, it just closes! I didnt find a pattern yet, and I don’t know what can it be. For example, sometimes I put a list of 50 large images and it works; other times, I put just one image and it doesnt work. But again, the app is just AWESOME!

JPEGmini really does what the description says; it’s perfect for dramatically reducing the size of images with only very minimal quality loss. It works especially well on images directly from digital cameras, but it can also compress output from other software by at least 50%. Previous versions of JPEGmini only support photos bigger than 2 Megapixels which made it useless for compressing photos for the web. This version finally lifted the restriction.

still the 17 megapixel limit, thats a no go! even the most entry level cameras have a higher resolution than 17MP!

The App is great and works very good! The only Problem that i have, is that i shoot with a Nikon D800. This Camera produces 36MP Images, sadly you support only 28MP. Hope that you will update this soon, so that i also can shrink these images. All for all a very good app!

This is a very useful little utility that does what it’s supposed to and is well worth its price. For a five star rating I would love to see some minor improvements: - An optional “classic” UI that takes up less screen real estate. - A “fit within n pixel" resize option that will resize the longer side of an image to n.

If you have photoshop, you can get better results and smaller image sizes. I want my $20 back.

I basically run everything through JPEGmini. Im a photographer and I use it for everthing. JPEGmini will take my 12mb jpegs and scale them down to 2-3mb files. Instead of giving my clients huge clunky beast files I can give them high res files that dont take a ton of space and resources to load and archive. I archive all my clients files for them just in case they lose them. At the end of the wedding season I take all my edited files and shrink them down and back them up. My only complaint is that it doesnt work with anthing over 28 megapixels. Which sounds like a lot, but I shoot with a Nikon D800 which is a 36 megapixel camera. So I export my files to less than 28 megapixels from Aperture and then further optimize them with JPEGmini. Im also a web designer in the off season. So when I export a photo from illustrator and it is 90kb, I run it through jpegmini and it usually shaves another 20kb off an already optimized for web image. Love it!

The program works OK. My MacBook ran hot for quite a few hours as the program worked. I reduced my iPhoto library from 80Gb to 68Gb. Not the file size reduction that the program advertises. The program was not worth the $20 to save me only 12Gb of drive space.

I had my doubts so I decide to make a copy of an image and run it through JPEGmini—both looked identical on a MacBook with Retina Display. I ran a folder of images next and the result was encouraging. As of today, I have recovered over 40 GB of space on one drive with this application and I am not done yet. This version works much better than the previous versions and it is more stable—I did not experience any issues. The interface is simple and it easy to use. Load up some folders of images and let JPEGmini go to work while you are at the movies! Lovely.

We shoot sporting events and can come away with 5,000 - 80,000+ images from one event. Running these through JPEGmini is a great way to save storage space, provide a high-res version to customers and reduce the bandwith for us and our customers. No noticeable loss in pixel quality. In the last few event Ive saved over 160GB, Im expecting to save over 1TB by the time ive run the rest of this seasons and previous years events.

Dont spend your money if you have photoshop. The result is slightly below.

I took a snapshot of my storage situation and saw 67GB of photos. After using this JPEG software it reduced it to 65.6GB. You figure it out whether or not it worth $20!!!!

I have Photoshop CC 2014 and I still use JPEGmini because it’s fast and realiable. You can dump whole folders worth of JPEGs and just let it do its thing. Highly recommend this app. If you were to use PS to do this it’d be tedious - really, really time consuming. So EMPHATIC BUY of JPEGmini! Buy, buy, buy. You won’t be dissapointed.

Give me a break. Was gonna refer your software to people until I saw this happened to me. Cant compress images above 28MP unless I drop $209CAD for a different version. Ridiculous and foolish and customer gouging.

Dear developers, please add command line interface, or even new command line app, if you whant. Now is only semi manual mode, but i’m really need full automation mode from my own apps.
