What is Squoosh?

Squoosh is a free, open-source image compressor from Google Chrome Labs. Drop in an image, compare formats like WebP, AVIF and MozJPEG side by side and download a smaller file. Everything runs locally in the browser, so images are never uploaded.

Pros: what Squoosh does well

  • Side-by-side before and after preview
  • Processing stays on your device
  • Supports modern formats

Cons: where it falls short

  • One image at a time
  • No batch or folder processing

Who Squoosh is for

Anyone who needs to shrink an image for the web or email quickly.

Who can skip it

People who need to bulk-compress hundreds of images at once.
