Easy web based image compression Google Sqoosh

[PaulPavlinovich]

Google have released a sample progressive web app that works on all platforms including mobile which will be really handy for connect users who need smaller images for Connect called Squoosh.

You can add it on your mobile and it behaves like any app except it's running in your browser. I've tested it on Pixel 2 and 3.

The image below is down to 66kb from 6mb well under the Connect limit of 3mb.

Thank you for sharing with us @PaulPavlinovich

@PaulPavlinovich Thanks. Worked like a charm in Safari - having to run to photoshop to shrink a normal iPhone shot was a real deterrent on this site.

Wow @PaulPavlinovich!

Amazing this algorithm! 

ps: have you tried Night Sight on Pixels? 

Bye,

David

wow! very helpful for us. Thanks for inform us. @PaulPavlinovich

I only got the Night Sight update yesterday @davidhyno - ironically I got it on my Pixel 2 before I got it on my Pixel 3 (yes I have both, one is personal, one is for work).

I've yet to try it since I live in a fairly small town and not much is lit up in any interesting way at night.

Es muy interesante la página @PaulPavlinovich, la intenté utilizar, pero llevada. A la práctica me da la sensación que necesita un poco más de facilidad de uso, el guardar la imagen no me resulto simple, algo engorroso, supongo que necesita evolucionar un poco más. Ya veremos qué pasa más adelante, de todas manera veo que el camino que ea siguiendo Alphabet con las App es un sean todo web, un claro ejemplo es Connect. 🙂

saludos Farid.

Thanks! Great tool.

I wonder if could be easily integrated in LIthium, like Smush on Wordpress.

[PaulPavlinovich]

Possibly @LucioV I would imagine that it is the kind of thing that could find its way into the core lithium product not just Connect as it must be a common request from the lithium community.

It is a little clunky @FaridTDF but it does work.
