Dec 19, 2018 at 0:45 comment added Kodiologist Okay. Because of JPEG compression artifacts, they'll have a lot of gray pixels even though they're supposed to be monochrome, so I would recommend thresholding them to true black and white before inverting, and make sure to save in a lossless format such as PNG. An indexed PNG will probably be smaller than the original JPEG.

Dec 18, 2018 at 21:55 comment added Kodiologist Standard JPEGs use three 8-bit channels. Are you sure you really have 1-bit (black-and-white) or 2-bit (four-color) JPEGs? They may be stored as 24 bits (three 8-bit channels) even if they appear monochrome.
