Jimp VS pngquant

QR codes are a convenient and efficient way to store and share information. Reading and writing QR codes can easily be done with Node.js, the popular JavaScript runtime environment. In this article, we will go over the steps for reading and writing QR codes in Node using three popular libraries: qrcode-reader and jimp for reading QR codes, and qrcode for generating QR codes. - Source: dev.to / about 1 year ago

One difference they note is that this method will typically preserve sharp edges better than jpeg (which is probably a strong plus for my type of use case). Source: 12 months ago

Pngquant is also great for shaving filesizes down, but unlike oxipng, it's explicitly lossy. It'll reduce colors and even dither, but it will try to keep an image visually similar. Https://pngquant.org/. Source: over 1 year ago
