Image compression is a type of data compression applied to digital images, to reduce their cost for storage or transmission. Algorithms may take advantage of visual perception and the statistical properties of image data to provide superior results compared with generic data compression methods which are used for other digital data.
The JPEG filename extension is JPG or JPEG. Nearly every digital camera can save images in the JPEG format, which supports eight-bit grayscale images and 24-bit color images (eight bits each for red, green, and blue). JPEG applies lossy compression to images, which can result in a significant reduction of the file size.
Continuously varied JPEG compression (between Q=100 and Q=1) for an abdominal CT scan. JPEG (/ ˈ dʒ eɪ p ɛ ɡ / JAY-peg, short for Joint Photographic Experts Group and sometimes retroactively referred to as JPEG 1) [2] [3] is a commonly used method of lossy compression for digital images, particularly for those images produced by digital photography.
JPEGmini is a photo compression tool developed by Beamr Imaging Ltd released in 2012 for Mac and Windows.It designed to reduce the file size of images and videos with limited quality reduction. [1] [2] [3]
Guetzli supports only the top of JPEG's quality range (quantizer settings 84–100) [7] [8] and supports only sequential (non-"progressive") encoding. Guetzli is more effective with bigger files. [8] Google says it is a demonstration of the potential of psychovisual optimizations, intended to motivate further research into future JPEG encoders. [2]

Unlimited free storage, 1MB per photo and 10 minutes per video (with image size restrictions).
WebP's lossless compression, a newer algorithm unrelated to VP8, was designed by Google software engineer Jyrki Alakuijala. It uses advanced techniques such as dedicated entropy codes for different color channels, exploiting 2D locality of backward reference distances and a color cache of recently used colors.
