Hey HN.

Online image compressors are good, actually not! popups, subscription, clunky ui & more...

So I created ConUtil Compressor it's 100% free and opensource. The only local image compressor that doesn't suck or get you into subscription hell.

Enjoy! Ahmed

Hey, I'm Ahmed.

I realized I was wasting my lot of time on these tools to compress my images, so i built the fastest image compressor. Compressed 1000 images in 98.6s and saved 2.26GB.

It would be nice to have a popup or some other visual feedback when an image is added successfully.

Thanks for your feedback. I'll definitely add this in feature and it's an open source project so if want to contribute then welcome.
