+1 specially Windows builds
#108

This really confused me. All the documentation referred to Windows precompiled binary downloads but I couldn't find them. They aren't included in the latest release and from what I can see the Windows CI Build Server referred to is also broken. I eventually figured out the binaries were in the previous release. Even just a comment saying refer to the previous release for binaries would be great.

Otherwise a most excellent tool that does everything I was looking for.

@necros2k7 say:

so it`s lossy?

So this jpeg-recompress too. Only the metrics are slightly different and used differently.

jpeg-archive/README.md

Lines 53 to 54 in 5b56afa

### jpeg-recompress
Compress JPEGs by re-encoding to the smallest JPEG quality while keeping _perceived_ visual quality the same and by making sure huffman tables are optimized. This is a __lossy__ operation, but the images are visually identical and it usually saves 30-70% of the size for JPEGs coming from a digital camera, particularly DSLRs. By default all EXIF/IPTC/XMP and color profile metadata is copied over, but this can be disabled to save more space if desired.

For lossless use jpegtran (libjpeg) or jpegtran (mozjpeg).
