If you are a web developer or a web publisher, or anyone who has to work with posting a lot of images online, you might be aware of how important it is to compress your images for it load fast on the web.<\/p>\n

There are a lot of tools (both online and offline<\/em>) available to compress images of any format. Even we have discussed this quite a lot of time on our blog as well.<\/p>\n

Google has introduced a new web tool called Squoosh.app which can dramatically compress any image within a few seconds and the best part is that it works offline.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Squoosh.app is available as a web app but you do not have to upload images, which makes it a great web app for compressing images for Chrome OS where we don’t have really have a good tool for this purpose.<\/p>\n

Apart from compressing images that will also give you the option to resize them.<\/p>\n

As a Chrome user, I have been using a chrome extension called Image Editor, and I really hate its user interface, though it is available as a web app I will still continue to use the application but I am also using Google’s new web tool.<\/p>\n

The UI of Squooshs app is quite simple, you have the ability to drag and drop images or select images my browsing it on your PC.<\/p>\n

A 2.79 MB image compressed to 79.7kB with the image resized to 1000px by 669px<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

You also get a slider to check out the quality of the images after it is processed, it really gets you the\u00a0idea that not a lot of detail is lost when you are compressing images.<\/p>\n

The only downside is, it is not available as a Chrome extension, which would have been a great as it could have been loaded\/launched even offline.<\/p>\n

But being a web app makes it available on every platform, be it Windows, Mac, Chrome OS or Android, since the app also adapts to the width of the browser window.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
