Everyone often encounters too big pictures at work. Example: Upload a document but the limit is exceeded. Mail is slow because the picture is too large. PPT opens very slowly because the pictures inside are too large …
Since the current mobile phone photos and web materials are very large. So we need a tool that can compress the material.
There is an interesting website that can help us and it can be used offline. The website does not limit the image size.
Squoosh Website
The homepage of the website is very simple. When you enter the website, you will be prompted to upload compressed files. In addition to the common picture formats of PNG and JPG, you can also support pictures in Webp and SVG formats.
This is a Web App, You can use it offline.
Web App is a special application. It is a web page for the first time. It can be downloaded and installed by the browser to form a desktop shortcut. It can be used offline later.
You can compare the effect of compression in the application
No longer limited by photo size
Because it’s a Web App that can be used offline, Squoosh actually runs locally on our computer, with no uploads, which is safe and saves bandwidth, and there’s no limit on the size of the input image (there may be some, but it’s just a lot, depending on the memory and performance of the device). In addition, this App is open source and has active code on Github, so it can be used with confidence.
In the end
Squoosh is a very good image compression app. But there are some problems, need to use the new version of Chrome to open the installation, otherwise some inexplicable errors may occur.
Anyway, you can try this apps, maybe you will use it frequently in the future.
