Image Compressor

Problem

Image folders often contain a mix of jpg, png, and webp files from different sources. Manually opening a compression tool, exporting each image, and compiling size results is slow and easy to botch. image-compressor turns this into a folder-level task: read images, compress at a fixed quality, overwrite or create copies, and report comparable sizes and compression ratios.

Workflow

• Batch discovery: scans a target folder for jpg/png/webp images, so the processing set is explicit instead of manually curated.
• Fixed compression policy: uses a system image compression tool at 70% quality, which is useful for producing a publishable size pass quickly.
• Output control: can overwrite the original files or generate compressed copies, making before-and-after comparison easier.
• Compression report: outputs original size, compressed size, and compression ratio, helping identify which files gain the most.

Boundaries

It fits bulk size reduction, such as asset packages, web resource folders, or pre-delivery image cleanup. It is not intended for per-image fine tuning, name-based or color-depth-specific rules, or workflows that require transparent channels, metadata, and EXIF data to remain strictly unchanged. The fixed 70% quality strategy may produce limited savings on already highly compressed images.
