CompressAI: an easy toolkit to make photos and videos smaller with AI
Meet CompressAI, a friendly toolkit that helps people shrink pictures and soon clips, without hunting through messy code.
It gives simple building blocks for making new ways to save images, plus ready-to-use pre-trained models you can try fast.
You can run experiments, get clear numbers about quality vs file size, and then see how new AI tricks stack up when you compare them to older compression tools.
Some models were rebuilt in a popular framework and trained from scratch, so researchers can start from a working example instead of from zero.
The platform also packs useful tools to test many ideas, and can save time when you test many settings.
It now focuses on pictures but the team plans support for image and video streams soon, so sharing smaller, sharper videos could get easier.
Try it if you like tinkering with images, or if you just wonder how much smaller your photos can be made without loosing little of what you care about.
