![]() ![]() Not only does my hard drive look much healthier, my website does too! Before, I use to upload a blog sized image (560x315px – 150kb ) to my website to keep the size of the overall page size down. After over an hour of processing my entire JPEG gallery through JPEGmini, I had saved almost 400GB with no sign of loss of quality, I couldn’t believe it! I had so much more room, I had no idea what to do with it, in fact, I had now made one hard drive redundant which i’ve since re-used as a duplicate drive. One by one I used the drag and drop feature to process folders of images onto the interface, almost instantly it gets to work and compresses images whilst providing a small chart showing how much it’s saved and above, an overall total on top to really boast of how good this really is, all done within 20 seconds, I was hooked, wow, my first test folder of 210mb worth of images had shrunk size by ¾! My satisfaction grew with each folder, the best part is that it’s 1 click of a button! No hassle, and the images are exported to exactly where they were with the same file name attached. I had over 100,000 images from over 8 years of photography, all of which was JPEG format. On close inspection, I couldn’t see any visual difference to sharpness, colour, noise or size of the image. It took 10 minutes to convince me, I didn’t believe it at first, testing one image vs the same image that hadn’t been processed via the program. JPEGmini offers the option of a free trial. Having found JPEGmini via a popular photography blog – ShotKit, Mark (the owner and blog publisher) recommended JPEGmini as ‘life changing hack’, often with such blogs having affiliations and product promotions I was reluctant to purchase at first having not been convinced of similar products in the past. Having looked at multiple options to lower the usage of storage and maximise space has always been a challenge, often compromising the quality of the image by actively reducing the quality slider on export from Adobe Lightroom and Adobe Photoshop, using similar sort of software limiting me to compress images on upload to my WordPress website only, this still didn’t address my issue of saving large JPEG format images at the smallest size on my storage setup, whilst also maintaining the highest possible quality, giving me more space to store images and saving me money whilst doing so. I began to re-think my strategy on image storage. Not only is digital space quite costly, but having a camera that produces roughly 75mb per image will and does take up lots of space on any hard drive.
