Hi HN,

CompressImageX.com is a straightforward image compressor that helps reduce file sizes without killing quality. •Adjustable quality settings (lossy/lossless) •Batch compression supported •Fast, works offline (thanks to WebAssembly) •No watermarks, no tracking

Useful for devs, bloggers, or anyone who wants lighter images. Let me know what you think!

Useful for devs?

Is there an API?

What I would really like is a simple, programmatic way to resize/crop an image down to be usable on the web.

Smartphone cameras take "HUGE" muti-megapixel photos which far exceed the capability of efficent web transmission and display.
