PyGuetzli is a Python binding for Google’s
Guetzli <https://github.com/google/guetzli>__ library.
Description of Guetzli from official’s repo:
Guetzli is a JPEG encoder that aims for excellent compression density at high visual quality. Guetzli-generated images are typically 20-30% smaller than images of equivalent quality generated by libjpeg. Guetzli generates only sequential (nonprogressive) JPEGs due to faster decompression speeds they offer.
