Questions
Can Squoosh compress several images at once?
The Squoosh web app handles one image at a time. Dryplate takes up to 50 at once and downloads them as a zip.
Is the quality the same as Squoosh?
Yes for JPG, WebP, AVIF and PNG: Dryplate uses the same open-source codecs (mozjpeg, libwebp, libavif, oxipng) compiled to WebAssembly.
How can I check that Dryplate doesn't upload my files?
Open your browser's developer tools, go to the Network tab and process an image. You will see no upload: the work happens in your browser, on your device.
