For photographs, you can set the quality as low as .25 before "noticable" pixelation sets in -- I believe this is a slider control and will show you a "preview" as you move the slider (it may take a moment to re-render after you've moved the slider) so you can "experiment" with this a bit.
Yes, gimps does that.
I have done this for some LARGE "background" pictures for my website, and it managed to compress a 1.3 megapixel image down to 78k -- see
However, notice that on download the image is expanded to the original size, in memory. I mean, resources on the browser are still large, if not on download time. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
