Squoosh

Squoosh is a browser-based image tool for reducing file size while keeping quality high. By compressing images before they are used, it helps address slow load times caused by large image files.

Key Features

• Drop or paste input: Open an image by dropping or pasting it into the tool, or start from one of the sample images provided.
• Quality-preserving compression: Reduce file size while maintaining high quality, so smaller images can load faster.
• Side-by-side inspection: Inspect the differences between the original and compressed result before saving.
• Adjustable settings: For those who want to go further, settings can be adjusted to produce even smaller files.
• Instant saving: Open an image, review the differences, then save the result immediately.

Typical Use Cases

• Preparing images for faster-loading pages: Compress large image files so pages load more quickly, then save the optimized result.
• Comparing compression results: Use the inspection view to see how a compressed image differs from the original before committing to it.
• Squeezing files further: Adjust the settings when a smaller file size matters more than the default result.
• Quick one-off conversions: Drop or paste an image and save a compressed version without a multi-step setup.

How It Works

1. Drop or paste an image into Squoosh, or choose one of the sample images.
2. Inspect the differences between the original and the processed result.
3. Optionally adjust the settings for even smaller files.
4. Save the image instantly.

Who It's For

Squoosh suits anyone who needs to shrink image files before publishing them — web designers, developers, and content creators preparing images for faster-loading sites — as well as casual users who want a simple way to compress an image and compare the result before saving. Its drop-or-paste workflow and adjustable settings keep the process quick for one-off tasks while still allowing finer control when smaller files are needed.

Squoosh gives users a straightforward way to compress images and review the quality trade-off before saving, making it most useful for those preparing images for the web.
