#2Cool. When would you want to use JPEG over PNG though? I don't know much about these things (just using PNG/SVG everywhere).

#3From a technical point of view, this is a great way to collect more real-world image datasets to test and optimize their algorithms against.
Moreover, from a business point of view, this is a great way to collect pictures that are usually not published by other means (e.g. Flickr), but I don't quite see how this could be exploited without copyright infringement.

#4I was about to share it, but FB cached something crap:
I was about to refetch it for you, but the FB debug tool throw some error.

#5Really nice tool, but I'm not getting the best results in terms of size optimization so far: http://i.imgur.com/2lfx3P8.png
I guess "highly optimized" is a rather ambiguous term. Maybe add a slider for quality compression?

Look at the bottom, it's powered by Kraken.io. This service is just a nice acquisition channel for them while providing something useful. I like these win-win scenarios.

> just a nice acquisition channel
My point was that it is not just an acquisition channel, but also a great way to collect more sample images for their algorithms.

Pretty much everywhere where you're not forced to use PNG. JPEG is significantly smaller and on most devices faster to decode.

#9How do jpeg.io's proprietery JPEG optimization algorithms perform compared to JPEG2000, webp or re-jpeg ?

Some images get better compression with JPEG than PNG - photographs in particular.
