I built a browser based image compressor to make uploads faster
I got tired of seeing apps upload huge images that didn't need to be huge.
So I built a small tool that compresses images directly in the browser before they're uploaded. The idea is simple: less data over the network, faster uploads, and less work for the backend.
It runs entirely on the client, so your images aren't sent anywhere just to be compressed.
I thought others building apps with image uploads might find it useful.
Happy to answer any questions about how it works.
