Privacy
I built this because I was tired of uploading my personal photos to third-party servers just to compress them. I wanted a tool that respects privacy by doing everything 100% on the client side.
It runs entirely in your browser (no data leaves your device), so there are no file size limits or upload wait times. It currently supports bulk compression for JPG, PNG, and WebP.
The larger suite of tools I'm building at ToolboxNest. I'd love to hear your feedback on the compression quality and the UI!
