That’s a valid question! The app is intended for less tech-savvy people, as such, the terminologies used are to accommodate those users. “Upload” would rather be “Import”, while “Download” would be “Export”.

I’ve shared the use case in a previous Lemmy post:

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.

Probably could be used with betterdiscord that supports js plugins.

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.

This has analytics tracking and is made by Google though. I intentionally wanted to stray away from that.
