ART and GIMP jpeg Q90 6.33MB

JpegLi 1.89MB

Can you see the difference

Since the aim of this topic is not to discuss the different JPG compression methods, I don’t think full resolution images are needed.

OK. Well in full resolution but only 1.9MB

Plus 6.3 MB for the non-JpegLi version.

And how can you visually, show the advantages of the new coding format.
The full resolution of the file, and how much % smaller.
Visually, the difference is not noticeable.

Scaled image by 50% 3008x2008 pix => 1.7MB
Same encoded in jpegli format => 475KB
