Squoosh!

Squoosh is an image compression web app that reduces image sizes through numerous formats.

Privacy

Squoosh does not send your image to a server. All image compression processes locally.

However, Squoosh utilizes Google Analytics to collect the following:

• Basic visitor data.
• The before and after image size value.
• If Squoosh PWA, the type of Squoosh installation.
• If Squoosh PWA, the installation time and date.

Developing

Web App

To develop for Squoosh:

1. Clone the repository
2. To install node packages, run:

   npm install
   

3. Then build the app by running:

   npm run build
   

4. After building, start the development server by running:

   npm run dev
   

Codecs

All build instructions for codecs are written using Nix. If you have Nix installed, you can rebuild the WebAssembly binaries by running:

# Build the codec
cd codec/<codec>
nix run '.#updateRepoBinaries'

If you do not have Nix installed, you can use the provided Docker image to create a shell with nix available:

# Build the image (only needs to be done once).
docker build -t squoosh-nix ./nix
docker run --name squoosh-nix -ti -v $PWD:/app squoosh-nix /bin/sh
# ... continue with the steps above
