image compression

Drop a PNG, JPEG, or WebP. Squish recompresses it in memory, strips invisible metadata, and hands the result back. The bytes never touch a disk and the file never leaves the request.

how

01

palette quantize

PNGs get colour-quantised to a curated palette — the same trick screenshot tools use. For UI assets and illustrations, the savings are dramatic; for photos, sometimes nothing budges.

02

mozjpeg

JPEGs run through mozjpeg with progressive scans and tuned chroma. Quality 78 is the comfortable corner of the rate-distortion curve — small files, no visible artefacts.

03

webp smart subsampling

WebP gets re-encoded with effort 5 and smart subsampling. Already-tiny files are returned untouched: you should never get a bigger file than you brought.

section

privacy

No accounts, no analytics, no cookies. Files are processed in memory and discarded the moment the response is sent. EXIF, GPS, ICC profiles, and other metadata are stripped during recompression.

The server uses strict content-type sniffing on the magic bytes of every uploaded file — declared MIME types are ignored. SVG, TIFF, GIF, and animated formats are rejected outright.

section

api

POST /api/compress with multipart/form-data. Up to 20 files per request, 10 MB each. Response is JSON containing per-file results with base64-encoded compressed bytes.
