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.
Does node have access to a browser compression command? It kinda defeats the purpose of running it entirely in the client’s browser and offloading the processing from the server.
Sharp or Jimp run in it instead right?
