Why Choose Web Image Optimizer?

Modern web development demands fast-loading pages without sacrificing image quality. While online converters are convenient, they introduce security risks and processing delays. The Web Image Optimizer GUI bridges the gap between command-line power and desktop usability, allowing you to process your files locally on your machine with absolute privacy.

It is the perfect tool for:
• Developers automating asset preparation before deployment
• Photographers cleaning up libraries by removing location metadata without losing image quality
• Web designers converting PNG/JPEG assets to lightweight WebP files for faster site speeds

Core Capabilities

This open-source utility is packed with features designed to streamline your production pipeline:

• Batch Processing Engine: Process hundreds of images simultaneously using a dedicated background runtime thread without freezing your interface.
• WebP Conversion: Transform legacy formats into modern WebP files for significantly smaller file sizes and faster load times.
• Privacy-First Metadata Stripping: Automatically scrub technical headers to reduce file bloat. Includes a specialized GPS Redaction mode to ensure your photo locations are never exposed.
• Sleek Dark Mode UI: Built on Electron with a Catppuccin-inspired dark theme that is easy on the eyes during long batch jobs.
• Real-Time Terminal Logging: A built-in console that tracks system logs, success rates, and errors in real-time while you work.

Get Started in Three Steps

Getting started is straightforward. No complex installation scripts or API keys required—just point, click, and process.

1. Select Source & Output: Click Browse to select the folder of raw images you want to fix and choose where the optimized files should be saved.
2. Configure Options: Toggle the switches for WebP Conversion, Strip Metadata (EXIF), or Redact GPS Coordinates based on your needs.
3. Run Pipeline: Click Optimize Images. The tool will process your batch in the background while you monitor progress via the live log console.

Built for Performance

This project is built entirely using open web standards (HTML, CSS, Vanilla JS) wrapped in an Electron runtime environment. It is designed to be lightweight, fast, and easy to maintain or modify.

• Runtime: Electron.js (for native file system access)
• UI Framework: SweetAlert2 & Custom CSS Variables
• Architecture: Separated UI thread from the main processing logic for high performance
