JPEGmini
JPEGmini is a desktop application for Mac and Windows designed to reduce the file size of images and videos with limited quality reduction. The Photo Optimization program was developed by Beamr and was released in 2012.

Background
Beamr was founded by Sharon Carmel, an entrepreneur with a background in image and video processing.  Beamr’s clients include companies like Netflix, Viacom CBS, and Snapfish.  Its technology is backed by 53 internationally granted patents and was awarded a Technology and Engineering  Emmy in 2021.  This technology is integrated into JPEGmini Pro allowing users to reduce the file size of their photos and videos with limited quality reduction. JPEGmini technology is built around a perceptually aligned image quality measure, which reliably determines the maximum amount of compression which can be applied to each individual image or video frame without introducing visible artifacts. This engine is combined with decode and encode blocks to perform the image transformation and create an output that is fully standard compliant. This technology enables JPEGmini Pro to achieve recompression ratios of up to 5x, or 80% reduction of JPEG images digital photos, while limiting visual artifacts.

Features
 Image optimization: JPEG mini can significantly reduce the file size of JPEG images by up to 80% without compromising image quality. JPEG mini optimizes high-res photos, with a resolution of up to 120MP.

 Video optimization: The release of JPEG mini 3.3 brought the additional feature of video optimization. JPEG mini can reduce videos by up to 50% while maintaining original quality and playability. JPEG mini video supports high bitrate videos, H.264/AVC video tracks, AAC audio tracks in MP4, M4V or MOV containers, with files up to 800 Mbps.

 HEIC to JPEG support: .HEIC (High Efficiency Image Format) is an image format that was adopted by iPhones but not all devices, browsers, and applications support it. JPEG mini launched a free website in 2017 that allowed the conversion of HEIC images to JPEGs, (https://heictojpg.com). With its wide popularity, JPEGmini implemented the support into its software, allowing the batch processing of .HEIC files to optimized JPEG files.

 Resizing Configurations: JPEG mini includes resizing configurations that allow users to resize batches of images and videos all at once. JPEG mini provides a range of predefined image sizes, as well as the ability to define specific dimensions.

 Plugins for image manipulation tools: JPEGmini Pro Suite is a package that includes the desktop version of JPEGmini Pro with additional plugins for Adobe© Lightroom, Capture One© and Adobe© Photoshop.

 Platforms: JPEG mini is compatible with both Mac and Windows operating systems.

Versions
Since its initial release in 2012, JPEG mini has undergone several updates and releases. In 2020, the company released JPEG mini Pro 3, with support for video files HEIC to JPEG optimization and custom resizing.
