JPEGmini
JPEGmini is a photo optimization utility that reduces JPEG file sizes by up to 80% while maintaining image quality and resolution. It uses advanced compression algorithms to minimize file sizes for photos up to 28 megapixels, making it popular with photographers, content creators and digital asset managers who need to reduce storage and bandwidth costs. The app supports batch processing, integrates with the macOS Finder, and has been recently updated to support video file optimization as well. JPEGmini is available both as a standalone application and as plugins for Lightroom and Capture One.

1 suggestionJPEGmini has shipped a native Apple Silicon build since version 3.4.1, released in March 2022, delivering 20% faster JPEG optimization performance compared to the older Intel build running under Rosetta. If you are still using an older Intel-only version, you'll see noticeably faster processing times and better battery efficiency after updating. The simplest path is to check for updates within JPEGmini itself (Help menu or Preferences) and let it pull the current native build automatically. If that doesn't trigger an update, visit the JPEGmini website or contact their support to download the latest version directly. If you use the Lightroom or Capture One plugins, those were updated to native in June 2022 and will benefit from the same speed improvements. Since you are well ahead of the September 2028 deadline when Rosetta is removed, updating at your own pace is fine, but the performance gain makes it worth doing sooner rather than later.
