Squoosh is an image optimization tool that runs in the browser, primarily used to compress images and compare across different codecs. Its goal is to make image files smaller and load faster while maintaining as high an image quality as possible during compression.
Main capabilities: Users can open images in the browser, view the differences before and after compression, and then save the results instantly. The tool supports processing images with different codecs, making it easy to compare the effects of different approaches. If further reducing file size is desired, settings can also be adjusted manually.
How to use: Open an image in the browser, check the differences, adjust the required parameters, and then save directly. The entire process requires no additional software installation.
Privacy and local processing: Squoosh emphasizes that images do not leave the user's device because all processing is done locally.
Use cases: Suitable for users who need to reduce image size and improve loading speed in web publishing, application development, or personal use, and who care about image privacy.
Limitations and additional notes: The materials do not provide a list of supported image formats, specific codec types, details of adjustable parameters, upper limits of compression effectiveness, or specific performance data, nor do they currently provide information on fees, pricing, platform support scope, account systems, or other usage steps.
