Image compression that measures if it's actually safe + API
SquashImage compresses JPEG, PNG, and WebP images by measuring real visual similarity (SSIM) instead of using a flat quality setting. Basically it only compresses as much as each image can actually tolerate. Free for single images, Pro unlocks batch upload and API access.
I'm a solo dev and I built SquashImage. Most compressors use one fixed quality setting for every image. I built this to instead measure actual visual similarity (SSIM) and stop compressing right when it would start looking worse, so it adapts per image instead of guessing. I also made it a point to create something concise and simple. Easy on the eyes as some would say.
Happy to answer anything, how it works, what's next, or just what you think/tips. Thanks for checking it out 🙏
