jpegoptim
Command-line utility that optimizes and compresses JPEG files with lossless Huffman table optimization and optional lossy quality limits.
www.kokkonen.net/tjko/projects.htmlrepositorydocs
jpegoptim is a command-line program that optimizes JPEG files. Its lossless mode optimizes the Huffman tables of a file, and its lossy mode sets an upper limit on image quality. The man page lists the options for each.
By default the program modifies an input file when it is optimized, and the -d option writes the optimized files to another directory instead. Source archives are built with ./configure and make, and the build needs the libjpeg library, which the README lists as version 6b or later.
Worth knowing
The project has no site of its own. Its description and source archives sit on the maintainer’s personal project page, and the source is also on GitHub.
