JPEGmini
JPEGmini is a photo optimization app for macOS that compresses JPEG images and video files while preserving visual quality. It reduces file sizes by up to 80% for JPEGs and up to 50% for video (H.264/AVC format), making it useful for photographers, content creators and anyone managing large media libraries. The app supports batch processing, drag-and-drop from the Finder, custom resize presets for social media, and integrates with Adobe Lightroom and Capture One through native plugins.

1 suggestionJPEGmini has offered native Apple Silicon support since version 3.4.1, released in March 2022, delivering 20% faster JPEG optimization performance compared to running under Rosetta 2 emulation. The app continues to receive updates—recent versions added video resizing capabilities and improved video format support. Simply update to the latest version through the app's built-in updater or by downloading directly from the JPEGmini website to get the native build. If your copy was installed several years ago, downloading a fresh copy will automatically provide the native Apple Silicon version. This puts you in a strong position ahead of the September 2028 Rosetta 2 removal.
