Overview

Key features:

  • AI-powered compression: perceptual tuning reduces file size while preserving visual quality.
  • Precise cropping & resizing: pixel-accurate crop tool, aspect-ratio presets, and batch resize.
  • Watermarking: text or image watermarks, opacity and position controls, and batch apply.
  • Batch workflows: create and run presets over folders — ideal for large exports.
  • Export presets: built-in profiles for web, social, and print; custom profiles supported.
  • Privacy-first: processing happens locally; no automatic uploads or telemetry by default.
  • CLI & automation: headless mode and CLI hooks for integration into build pipelines.

How it works:

Open images or a folder, choose or create an optimization preset, optionally crop or add a watermark, preview results, and export. The bundled AI models are optimized for local CPU/GPU use to keep latency low while protecting user privacy.

Technical notes:

  • Supports both lossless and lossy compression with adjustable quality and perceptual parameters.
  • Generates optional derivative sizes for responsive delivery (e.g., 400w, 800w, 1600w).
  • Optional hardware acceleration available when supported by the host system.
  • Can be used headless for automated pipelines and CI tasks.

Privacy & licensing:

  • Local-first by default — no images leave your device unless you explicitly export or upload them.
  • Open-source (MIT) — audit, fork, and contribute via the repository.

Quick start:

  1. Download the build for your OS (Windows / macOS / Linux).
  2. Open images or a folder, pick a preset or create one.
  3. Hit optimize, preview results, tweak as needed, then export.

Contribute:

Contributions, bug reports, and model updates welcome. See the repository for build instructions, developer notes, and contribution guidelines.
