Show HN: A bulk image compression service
Hi, so over the weekend I built a free to use service to compress one or more images using MozJEPG encoding enabled via WASM.
It's a static site, all the processing happens on the client side, no file uploads or sign-ups needed!
Why? The existing services are either filled with ads or require you to sign-up / pay.
would greatly appreciate any feedback! TIA!
- Kharacternyk 3y agoWell done. SVGs can be selected in the file picker, but the compressor doesn't seem to support them. You should probably further limit the selection to raster formats.
- CaptainDaVinci 3y agoThank you for the feedback! Did not notice that, I've now restricted it to accept .jpeg, .jpg, .png files.
- yevyevyev 3y agoCan you add a checkbox for lossy vs lossless compression? If you are doing lossy compression on PNGs, might as well change it to a non-png file. FYI, there are great lossless PNG compression algorithms out there - PNGcrush, oxipng, etc. ImageOptim has a bunch built-in.
- CaptainDaVinci 3y agoI'll be working on adding oxipng for encoding PNG formats. Thanks for the suggestion!
- KTibow 3y agoI know Sqoosh already exists but I guess that doing bulk is more useful
