A tool to optimize images for the web, allowing conversion, resizing, and compression.

Made using:

• TypeScript
• WebAssembly
• Web Workers

Open source usage:

• @saschazar21's WebAssembly Monorepo. Particularly, wasm-image-loader, wasm-avif, wasm-webp, and wasm-mozjpeg.

Benefits:

• No server needed
• Using client's processor means no business logic/edge/lambda functions required = cost effective
• Can work offline (assuming necessary JavaScript is downloaded on initial load)

To do:

• Research “memory access out of bounds” issue that is sometimes preventing the loading of images
• Implement the Service Worker API and @Touffy's client-side streaming ZIP generator: client-zip
