JPEGmini photo optimization technology, capable of reducing image file sizes by up to 5x while retaining their full resolution and quality, is now available on the Amazon Web Services Marketplace. The JPEGmini Photo Server from Beamr allows AWS customers, ranging from small businesses to the world's largest enterprise organizations, to reduce the load time of image-intensive web pages, improving monetization and user experience, while cutting down on storage and bandwidth costs.
Based on patented media optimization technology, the JPEGmini Photo Server reduces image file sizes by up to 5x (80 percent) while maintaining the original quality, resulting in visually identical JPEG files, fully compatible with any browser, photo software or device that supports the standard JPEG format.
"With more than 50 percent of outgoing bandwidth on websites monopolized by images, the need to reduce image size to improve performance is apparent, but has never before been possible without compromising resolution and quality," said Sharon Carmel, CEO of Beamr, the company of media compression experts behind the highly-acclaimed JPEGmini photo compression technology. "JPEGmini provides Amazon AWS customers integrated access to a high-performance, cost-effective solution that optimizes and protects the image quality of thousands of images per minute."
The JPEGmini Photo Server software allows AWS customers to utilize JPEGmini photo compression technology on an hourly basis, adjusting the number and types of instances to the expected photo optimization load. This provides a highly cost-effective and scalable solution that can be used by any AWS customer, from small websites to very large online photo services.
In addition to optimizing photos using JPEGmini's world-class patented algorithms, the JPEGmini Photo Server can also perform optional high-quality, high-performance resizing (resolution reduction) and metadata stripping, to provide even further reduction of photo file size. This integrated functionality is ideal for applications that require output in multiple resolutions for album previews, thumbnails, etc.
