Research: Quality vs Size Curves

Reproducible method to benchmark JPEG/WebP at 1920px longest side and target KBs.

  1. Choose a CC0 dataset covering photos, UI, and screenshots.
  2. Normalize images to 1920px longest side.
  3. For each image and codec, sweep quality via binary search to hit 200/300/500/800KB.
  4. Record SSIM/PSNR and visual notes; export CSV.
