title: Image Optimization (Google App Engine with Python)
body: <p>I haven't found a similar question that I'm looking for Image Optimization.</p>
  <p>I've tested how much Facebook can optimize the image uploaded:</p>
  <blockquote>
  <p>980KB --&gt; 77KB</p>
  <p>846KB --&gt; 62.1KB</p>
  </blockquote>
  <p>From what I found out, Facebook is capable of optimizing the image up to 10 times while still pertaining some minimum image quality, as for the test above.</p>
  <p>So, can anyone share what are the best ways that you have implemented to optimize image uploaded by user ?</p>
  <p>When I searched in internet, I've seen some websites offer paid service for image optimization. However, we prefer not to subscribe for any paid service for image optimization at this stage.</p>
  <p>I'm developing the project with Python language within Google App Engine environment. Any part where we can reuse from Python libraries or even Google App Engine libraries to achieve so ?</p>
