Zero-server image compression tool promises speed and privacy

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from DEV Community ·

A new tool from AppliedAI Hub uses WebAssembly to compress images locally, avoiding server uploads. Benchmarks show it processes 20 PNGs in 4.5 seconds versus 45 seconds for cloud services. The tool supports WebP and AVIF formats, achieving up to 86% file size reduction.

Meridian48 take
The privacy and speed claims are compelling, but widespread adoption depends on browser support and whether the quality matches dedicated cloud compressors.
