At Google\u2019s I\/O event last week, the company\u00a0announced Google Photos, a new photo service which replaces Google+ Photos (formerly Picasa Web Albums). \u00a0Google Photos has some great features, such as automatically enhancing your photos and creating \u201cstories\u201d, \u00a0organizing your photos by location, people and topic (without the need to tag them), and easy sharing of individual photos and albums. But one of the most discussed features of the new Google Photos service is the ability to store an unlimited amount of high resolution photos (up to 16 Megapixels) for free. \u00a0This mode called \u201cHigh Quality\u201d creates compressed versions of your photos, which Google claims will \u201cessentially look the same\u201d to the originals.<\/p>\n

We care so much about photo quality, we decided to check out Google\u2019s claims by examining the compression which they apply to your photos in \u201cHigh Quality\u201d mode (the mode that enables you to store an unlimited number of photos for free).\u00a0 We discovered that this compression can create significant artifacts on certain type of photos.<\/p>\n

Below is a photo that we uploaded to Google Photos, and the same photo after Google Photos compression:

We believe that the images speaks for themselves.<\/p>\n

If you use Google Photos, we recommend optimizing your photos with JPEGmini using our desktop app, and then uploading in Original Quality to Google Photos. \u00a0This will ensure that the quality of your photos is preserved, and will also triple your storage space: After JPEGmini optimization, you can store 3-4 times the photos using your free 15 GB Google quota, or any paid quota that you choose to buy.<\/p>\n
