Use case
This app is designed to compress smaller batches of images, aimed at casual users who need to compress and convert a few images at a time.
I created it primarily for friends and family who are less tech-savvy, to help them compress and convert images in a simple, safe, and private way.
Since the compression is handled in the browser, it won’t cause any additional load on your server.
Additional notes
- I wanted it to be low-dependency, so it’s built using pure HTML/CSS/JS.
- If you’re wondering about the excessive amount of animations used, it’s simply because I wanted to have fun working on this project. These types of animations are usually impractical for general purpose websites and are impractical to maintain.
Installed. It’s great! Easy and fast. I’ll be using this almost daily. Thank you.
It would be nice if it worked in Node.js
I’d love if there was a way to hook this onto apps like discord to automatically compress images too big to upload
For windows the powertoys resize extension works great, just a right click option to easily make images smaller.
Probably could be used with betterdiscord that supports js plugins.
Pretty sure Vencord is what’s used now. It’s what I use at least because it’s preinstalled with Vesktop.
Nah, Betterdiscord is still alive and kicking. And it still has the best image utility plugin.
Okay now do videos
Sidenote: A similar app is https://squoosh.app/
This has analytics tracking and is made by Google though. I intentionally wanted to stray away from that.
Edit: typo
Amen. Time for a star+ download
Cool! I was just thinking about putting something like this together.
I’ll check it out today!
Something like that could be also interesting for a Lemmy frontend to make it easier to share images on instances that have strict upload limits.
Yes indeed, the library I used “Browser Image Compression” is quite easy to work with. I did this as a weekend project + a few more days to prepare for open sourcing.
