Squeezes – Free Bulk Image Compressor

Squeezes is a free online tool that allows users to compress multiple images at once in bulk, directly in the browser without uploading files to a server.

Background

- Squeezes is a free, browser-based tool that lets you compress multiple images at once (bulk compression) without uploading them to a server. All processing happens locally on your device, so your files stay private. - The key technical detail is that images never leave your computer — this matters because many online compressors upload your files to a remote server, raising privacy concerns, especially for sensitive or copyrighted images. - It supports common image formats (JPEG, PNG, WebP, etc.) and targets the use case of shrinking file sizes for faster web loading, easier email attachments, or saving disk space. - The site uses modern browser APIs (like WebAssembly or Canvas) to run compression algorithms directly in your browser. You can think of it as similar to tools like TinyPNG or Squoosh, but fully private and unlimited because there are no server costs.
