I wish there was something like this that would easily support resizing an image to fit a fixed aspect ratio.<p>Eg, say &quot;Make this image 640x480&quot; and it would shrink it until it fit inside that box, then add transparent&#x2F;blank as necessary to get to the size.<p>It is nearly impossible to explain to people why aspect ratio is important, and the ovals continue.

Cool. I was looking at ffmpeg.wasm[1] the other day and it had me wondering what the performance might look like for a similarly browser-based and offline service for common tasks.<p>I wonder about the use of remote file operation terminology (e.g., upload, download) versus local (e.g., open, save) when using offline&#x2F;local and privacy as an attraction.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;ffmpegwasm&#x2F;ffmpeg.wasm" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;ffmpegwasm&#x2F;ffmpeg.wasm</a>

So nice. Browser as an application platform, in a truly serverless fashion.<p>The browser can expose many everyday small utilities like this, to scratch very particular itches.<p>I remember that the original idea of bookmarklets [1] was similar to this.<p>[1]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Bookmarklet" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Bookmarklet</a>

Small bug report to the OP (hopefully you own the website): The light&#x2F;dark toggle starts off on dark setting but visually the website is on the light setting. So if you toggle it, the toggle goes light, but visually nothing changes, toggling it back to dark, visually it changes to dark. This only works once as settings as persisted correctly. But opening up an incognito browser you can repro.<p>Edit: Cool website :)

This is cool. I&#x27;ve been using tinypng.com (a service that uses &quot;their&quot; servers!!) for years, even with PS, IM and the rest installed locally .. basically due to - until very recently - superior compression, especially of png. It&#x27;s entirely useful. Will take this newfangled local effort for a test run at my next rodeo :)

I&#x27;ve tried compressing an icon and it ended up being larger than the original:<p><pre><code> FILENAME. ORIGINAL SIZE UPDATED SIZE SIZE IMPROVEMENT FILE TYPE 128-light.png 920 Bytes 1.83 KB -104.02% PNG </code></pre> It would be nice to at least say that the compression didn&#x27;t go well :)

Curious what this does different than ImageMagick. I can&#x27;t view the website as for the antivirus thinks its a high risk site.

Maybe a dumb question, but I&#x27;d love to try to build something similar for a journal.<p>Any idea what tech, if anything fancy, it&#x27;s using?

Squoosh with basic drawing and cropping tools, what exactly is the use case for this?

Huh, I&#x27;ve been able to do that locally for 25 years.

Why do we have to upload our images into their servers?

I&#x27;m not sure who this is build for. Wouldn&#x27;t most OS have these functions builtin? macOS and iOS do.
