About
Overview
Squoosh is an image compression web app by Google. It uses advanced, open-source compression algorithms (like MozJPEG, OxiPNG, and WebP) to reduce image file sizes directly in your browser. It is known for its deep customization and side-by-side visual comparison.
Pricing & Free Tier
Free Tier: Yes. Completely free and open-source.
How to Use
- Go to squoosh.app.
- Drag and drop an image.
- Choose an output format (e.g., MozJPEG or WebP).
- Adjust the quality slider or use the "Resize" tool.
- Drag the slider in the center to compare the original vs. compressed image.
- Click the download icon to save.
Important Notes
- Browser-Based: All processing is done locally in your browser, meaning your images are never uploaded to a server, ensuring privacy.
- Advanced Settings: Squoosh provides far more control than tools like TinyPNG (e.g., advanced color quantization and smoothing), which can save extra kilobytes for performance-obsessed developers.
