Image Compressor (Local)

Local image compressor with drag-and-drop upload, server-side compression, and local file saving.

This is the first version: ugly, but functional. I’ll come back another day to make it prettier.

Requirements

• Node.js 18+

Run

npm install
npm run dev

Open:

• http://localhost:3000

How It Works

• Drop image files or click the panel to select them.
• Files are uploaded to POST /api/compress.
• Originals are stored in storage/uploads.
• Compressed images are saved in storage/compressed.
• Downloads are triggered automatically in the browser.

Configuration

• PORT: Optional server port (default: 3000)
• quality: Request body field from 1 to 100 (default: 75)
