About JPEG Archive
JPEG Archive includes command-line utilities for reducing the storage needs of photo collections and identifying duplicate or similar images. Its recompression tool re-encodes JPEGs to reduce file size while retaining perceived visual quality; this is a lossy operation.
The archive script can process files in parallel, but requires a POSIX-compatible shell, Ladon or GNU Parallel, dcraw, and exiftool.
