MAZANOKE is a simple image compressor and converter that runs entirely in your browser. No external uploads, works offline as a web app, and is powered by the "Browser Image Compression" library.

Github project page: https://github.com/civilblur/mazanoke

    • Adjust image quality (0-100%).
    • Set a target file size.
    • Set max dimensions, to not exceed a certain width/height.
    • Convert between JPG, PNG, and WebP.
  • ๐ŸŒ Installable Web App
    • Use as a Progressive Web App (PWA).

    • Fully responsive for desktop, tablet, and mobile.
  • ๐Ÿ”’ Privacy-Focused
    • Works offline.
    • All image processing happens locally.
    • No data is uploaded to external servers. Your files stay on your device.

Use case

This app is designed to compress smaller batches of images, aimed at casual users who need to compress and convert a few images at a time.

I created it primarily for friends and family who are less tech-savvy, to help them compress and convert images in a simple, safe, and private way.

Since the compression is handled in the browser, it won't cause any additional load on your server.

Additional notes

  • I wanted it to be low-dependency, so it's built using pure HTML/CSS/JS.
  • If you're wondering about the excessive amount of animations used, it's simply because I wanted to have fun working on this project. These types of animations are usually impractical for general purpose websites and are impractical to maintain.

I personally just use 'convert' or imagemagick to handle images, but I can see how thos would be nice for the not so tech savvy.

Yeah :) Self-host it and share with family/friends ! ๐Ÿ‘ I can't stand anymore seeing my family members install some sketchy apps present in the official store or clicking the first ad/spy/ai/ bloated site gathering all their personal information...๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ
