While filling out some online forms for government or exam portals, I often faced a frustrating issue:
They wouldn't accept my photo because it was too large.
Like most people, I turned to random online photo compressors, but then a thought hit me:
❗ “Am I risking my privacy by uploading personal images to unknown websites?”
So I decided to build this app myself – simple, open-source, and privacy-respecting.
Now anyone (including me) can compress photos without worrying about where their data ends up.
