Repository Details

A Bash script to automate adaptive JPEG compression using common CLI tools

Adept - the adaptive JPG Compressor

Quick Start

  • Please install a MSS saliency algorithm binary, ImageMagick, MozJPEG and JPEGrescan
  • Make MozJPEG available as "mozjpeg" in your $PATH, e.g. via symlink
  • Fetch a copy of adept and place it somewhere you deem a good place for 3rd party shellscripts, e.g. "/usr/local/bin". Make sure the location is in the $PATH of the user(s) who will run adept and ensure that the script is executable (chmod -x).
  • Symlink it as "adept" for your own convenience
  • Now you can run "adept /path/to/image.jpg" to compress JPEGs far more effectively!

Introduction

When compressing JPEG images, the same compression level is used on the entire image. However, most JPEG images contain homogeneous and heterogeneous areas, which are varyingly well-suited for compression. Compressing heterogeneous areas in JPEGs to reduce filesize causes compression artefacts due to the lossy nature of JPEG compression.

This script adaptively alters the compression level for areas within JPEGs (per-block) to achieve optimized file size while maintaining a decent visual quality. This script achieves a significantly reduced file size compared to standard tools such as cjpeg while maintaining good visual quality, as can be measured via SSIM. This is good news for the Web Performance and thus Web Developer community to achieve a great user experience on websites.

Example

Best quality/size:

$ convert -verbose -quality 100 images/lena.png images/lena.q100.jpg
images/lena.png PNG 512x512 512x512+0+0 8-bit DirectClass 475KB 0.010u 0:00.010
images/lena.png=>images/lena.q100.jpg PNG 512x512 512x512+0+0 8-bit DirectClass 401KB 0.030u 0:00.039

$ ./adept-jpeg.sh images/lena.q100.jpg
./adept-jpeg.sh options: inherit, 69, autodetect, _adept_compress_imagemagick
404266 images/lena.q100.jpg

lockdown-maintainance-wordpress-plugin

A WordPress plugin that upon activation notifies all logged-in users of upcoming maintainance and forces their logout after a timer (default: 5 minutes) has expired. Only admin-users can access WordPress after that and all other users attempting to login will be notified of ongoing maintainance. Deactivation of the plugin by the admin lifts all restrictions. This plugin is useful when syncing / deploying a staging-server up to a live-server.
