| Measured fixture results | File reduction: 61.76% · Output size: 1582.4 KB | File reduction: 88.37% · Output size: 481.4 KB |
| Fixture findings | Local processing reduced this fixture by about 62%; other formats and images need separate tests. | Under the 2048px standard anchor, BIRME's default preset exports a 512x512 native PNG file achieving 27.59 dB PSNR, 0.9755 SSIM, and 88.37% size reduction with pure client-side Canvas/Pica offline processing in 342ms. |
| Original historical observation | Despite its legacy 'JPEG-Optimizer' name, the tool fully supports client-side PNG, JPEG, and GIF compression. It shrinks our 4.14 MB anchor PNG by 61.76% to 1.55 MB locally in 1.4s with PSNR=39.35 dB and SSIM=0.9984 (02_workspace.png, 03_download.png). | BIRME executes purely in local browser Canvas with Pica interpolation, reducing 4.14 MB to 481.4 KB (-88.4%) while preserving PNG format and transparency in 342ms. |
| Suitable uses · historical assessment | Privacy-conscious users who strictly prohibit cloud uploads and need fast 20-image batch PNG/JPEG compression in the browser | E-commerce and web operations requiring fast batch resizing and compression while preserving PNG transparency |
