How to make jpeg progressive? about leanify

[b1rdex]

That's sad because progressive is always bigger AFAIK. I'm not too good in c++, can you please help me with patch to force progressive for files bigger that 10KB?
I'll try to say why: I'm using Leanify to process images for web site and progressive jpeg is a must for web images.

Are you sure? I think progressive is usually smaller for large images, and baseline is usually smaller for small images, for websites I think using baseline for small images is totally fine.
If progressive is an absolute must for all images, then I would suggest to use mozjpeg and manually specify the options to force progressive.

The default is progressive, but if it does not decrease file size then we keep the original, or if it's a small file and baseline is better than progressive then we use baseline.
There isn't an option to force progressive because we always prefer whatever that gives smaller file size.
