A few weeks ago I got frustrated with most online image/file compressors. Most of them were: overloaded with ads, painfully slow, forcing uploads to servers, or simply not mobile friendly. So I decided to build my own lightweight browser-based compression tool. The goal was simple: fast compression, clean UI, mobile support, and minimal friction. One thing I specifically wanted was client-side processing wherever possible, so users don't feel like they're uploading sensitive files to random servers. Some things I focused on: responsive/mobile-first UI fast loading speed lightweight animations image optimization simple UX browser-side processing Tech stack: React + Vite Modern responsive UI Compression libraries/APIs Custom optimization workflow I’m still improving: SEO compression quality additional tools/features Would genuinely appreciate feedback from developers/designers here.…
