We are about to conclude ours summer season, from next week in fact we will only publish games Open source for the entire month of August, and we do it with a nice online tool that is practical and very simple to use. Squoosh it will allow you to resize the weight of your photographs and any other images.

Said this way, more than one will probably turn up their noses because using an online tool to resize photographs has major flaws in terms of privacy (for private photos) and security (try to think about scanning personal documents). So why do we propose it to you Squoosh? Because it's a tool Open source that does everything locally! In fact, the images will never leave your device and therefore will never end up on the server: Squoosh works locally so your privacy is safe!

Squoosh, resize images online

So once this problem has been eliminated, as we were saying, this is a really simple tool for resizing images. Simply upload the image and you will have an easy-to-understand image compression tool in front of you. Meanwhile the image is divided in two with a practical resizable cut: on one side there will be the original photo and on the other the compressed photo. This way you can immediately see if the compression will lose quality visible to the naked eye.

Subsequently you can resize the image and/or compress it using different systems such as the default MozJPEG or AVIF, WebP and many others. In the advanced settings you will have many other tools at your disposal to decide what and how to arrange the image.

The final result is quite surprising: without losing quality to the naked eye, you can reduce 3-4MB photographs down to 2-300 kB.

Squoosh is therefore a useful, interesting, fast and simple to use tool that can help you save some space on your hard disk or on your cloud.

Alternatives to Squoosh

As often happens, we also suggest alternatives to the proposed alternatives. If you think that Squoosh is not for you, try taking a look at Caesium Image Compressor too. AND Open source and free to download for Windows and macOS. It also has an online version which however uploads the images to the server (although it is said that they are deleted immediately).
