A few weeks ago, I was working on a client project and ran into the same problem again. Large images were slowing down the entire site, and I was spending more time converting JPGs and PNGs than actually building features.
I tried several tools, but most had limits, required signups, or uploaded files to a server which I wanted to avoid. So I built something small for myself, and it turned out to be really useful.
I named it Pixel Press. It is a simple browser based converter that turns JPEG, PNG, and AVIF into WebP, supports bulk upload, and handles images up to 50MB. There is no server involved and nothing is stored. Everything happens locally in the browser.
It solved the problem for me, so I’m sharing it in case it helps anyone who deals with image optimization in their workflow.
If you try it, I would appreciate your feedback.
