Google Chrome Labs releases open source, browser-based image optimization tool, Squoosh

As web pages have advanced over the years, they have also dramatically increased in size. This has gradually contributed to pages loading slower and slower. To help web developers easily optimize their pages, Google Chrome Labs has released a new web tool called Squoosh that can downsize, compress, and reformat images.

[...] Supporting a variety of web formats like MozJPEG and WebP and traditional ones like PNG, Squoosh allows you to quickly make your images web-ready. The app is able to do 1:1 visual comparisons of the original image and its compressed counterpart, to help you understand the pros and cons of each format.

Squoosh.

    The other day I had the misfortune of downloading a .webp image. I thought it was just a wrong extension for a jpeg or png file. But no, it is another format.

    Google wants to control everything about humans. They want their browser to be your only browser, their OS to be your only OS and so on. With khazar jewish filth behind it, can one expect something better?

    Stop using anything infected by khazar jewish vermin.

    Extra clicks, but searching for
        convert .webp to png (or jpg)
    generates plenty of hits.
