// Must install ImageMagick first

//This compresses a jpg with no visible loss of quality. Add in your own file names for target.jpg and result.jpg
convert -strip -interlace Plane -sampling-factor 4:2:0 -quality 85% target.jpg result.jpg

// This does the same as above but to an entire folder (will overwrite original files):
mogrify -strip -interlace Plane -sampling-factor 4:2:0 -quality 85% *.jpg

//This does the same thing but to all subfolders as well (Be careful with this one it will overwrite all original files)
//This one just tests the command and prints output
find . -name "*.jpg" -exec echo 
mogrify -strip -interlace Plane -sampling-factor 4:2:0 -quality 85% {} \;

// This one actually compresses all the images in folder and subfolders
(the real thing)
find . -name "*.jpg" -exec mogrify -strip -interlace Plane -sampling-factor 4:2:0 -quality 85% {} \;

// This command compresses a png with no visible loss of quality
mogrify -filter Triangle -define filter:support=2 -unsharp 0.25x0.08+8.3+0.045 -dither None -posterize 136 -quality 82 -define png:compression-filter=5 -define png:compression-level=9 -define png:compression-strategy=1 -define png:exclude-chunk=all -interlace none -colorspace sRGB *.png

Hi, this is awesome. Tried on sample I saved 75% space.

mogrify -strip -interlace Plane -sampling-factor 4:2:0 -quality 85% *.jpg but there is in folder 82+k files and it return error:
bash: /usr/bin/mogrify: Argument list too long (8cores 32GB RAM, SSD..)
So trying now find . -name "*.jpg" -exec mogrify -strip -interlace Plane -sampling-factor 4:2:0 -quality 85% {} \;

Awesome stuff! gg

I didn't realize anyone was even using this. I am so glad it was helpful!
