Re: Show HN: I built an image optimization tool based on Google's new Jpegli encoder
#2Hey HN,
I’m a CS student studying in Amsterdam. Usually, I like making native apps as side projects but here is a small web app for a change.
Recently, Google released Jpegli [1]. You might have seen their blog post posted here on HN ~1 month ago [2]. It’s a new JPEG coding library that can compress high-quality images 35% more than traditional JPEG codecs. When I searched for a tool to try this new technique, I was surprised to find nothing. That is why I created this website.
The encoder runs on WebAssembly making it possible to do all the image processing in the browser. This allows for fast results and optimal privacy since images are never sent to my server or anything like that.
Please let me know what you think or if you have any questions!

#3Really cool stuff!

#4> your images are never seen by us or sent to our servers
Needs to be on the front page. Great domain name by the way.

#5Looks perfect on my phone. Good work.

Thanks! I will try to find a nice place to put it on the home page.

Cool, thanks! Could you elaborate on advanced options? How does basic progressive rendering differ from enhanced? How many scans do they provide? How does the first scan look like? How much does DCT method affect compression and quality? What's the difference between slow & fast integer? Where is the option to use JPEG XL's XYB colorspace (ICC profile)?

#10Earlier quoted context omitted.
It's on there now
I think it would be better as a subheading for your actual headline, maybe inside a badge or something. Really great work! How long did you work on it?
I'm not so great with design so I didn't really know how to do it near the headline since there is already a subtitle there.
Took me about 2 days to make everything from start to deployment.
Main thing was to get the WASM stuff working but that didn't take too long. I found this git repo [1] that already compiled the stuff I needed to WASM. UI took the most time in the end.
