The successor of jpg

A terabyte ain't enough to store my photos soon. My weather images and pages was taking over 40 megs of data at crack (not so good in the field. I use securet motion activated app from Playstore on 500 meg cheap plans which can upload 1 picture a minute over cell for home security, time clock that proves spec fulfillment. I run own weather site that is able to squeeze 30 megs of images down to under a meg.

So, people here interested in security, weather, home photo directory size, web servers, websites - would be interested in something that is 2x the efficiency of jpg. Yes, I agree that the lack of tools for change, renders this bpg more a peak into what is possible, and another anecdote akin to beta max v. VHS. Since the inferior webp may prevail. However, software is much more flexible than a 1985 tape player.


Never liked webp, or jpg2000 for quality per unit size over jpg. Now, I found bpg, which is jaw dropping.

I am sold on bpg as the best image compression format. http://xooyoozoo.github.io/yolo-octo-bugfixes/#ballet-exercise*3:1&bpg=t&bpg=t *you can compare jpg2000, webp, jpg xr, bpg, jpg with the Javascript. Half one side of picture and half the other. Bpg is the clear winner.

Also, forum owners (you, K. D.) and photobucket might be interested in compression to cut loads.

Great article on the politics, quality and patent issues of jpg xr, mozjpg,, webp, bpg, jpg2000. *https://www.philipstorry.net/thoughts/bpg-vs-jpeg-vs-webp-vs-jpeg-xr * Pretty
much, sums it all up nicely. Can't find newer info.

Found ImageMagick supports still webp, which my scripts use hourly for years.

Did find webpmux, gif2webp.exe, library for 32 bit windows, which I use now to crush down the animated gif to animated web.

I don't yet see the fee associated with bpg. But haven't dug deep enough for the compiled dos exes...

It is easy to use php to browser agent serve appropriate pages.

Ideally, wish to install the github version of images.weserv.nl which rocks for cross domain compression. Thus if house electric down I can still shave 50 megs per day off cell plan, etc. Will need to check back at the git hub weserv page to see if webp is supported. Else bpg.

It is only when compared side by side, that you realize bpg is desired over webp. So, if not directly compared, will be happy with webp over jpg.

The animated bph examples were breath taking. This is probably because it comes from h. 265 when h. 264 improved a few years ago it was a huge improvement over everything. If h. 265 is 2x as good, wow! Though sadly, it is now all about selling new TVs and bigger internet packages. Cha-ching.
