Studies designed around real decisions

Each publication will include its method, sample, conditions, raw and summary data, limitations, test date and correction history.

Formats

500-image format performance test

A controlled corpus comparing JPG, WebP and AVIF size, encode time and quality at multiple settings.

Compatibility

Browser image-format report

Versioned decode and encode capability results, separated by browser, operating system and codec.

Privacy

Local vs cloud converter study

A reproducible network-observation protocol documenting where files and telemetry travel.

Metadata

HEIC/JPG metadata preservation

Tests EXIF, orientation, timestamps, location and colour-profile behavior across conversion paths.

Web performance

Website image optimization benchmark

Measures bytes, visual quality and page-delivery impact across realistic responsive-image strategies.

Quality

Best quality settings benchmark

Maps practical quality thresholds by image type instead of presenting one universal recommendation.
