  1. photon

    ⚡ Rust/WebAssembly image processing library (by silvia-odwyer)

    My first implementation was based on photon_rs, a Rust based web assembly library for image processing. It worked pretty well, but it was slower than OP website. Without digging much it seems logical since photon isn’t optimized for performance.

  3. squoosh

    Make images smaller using best-in-class codecs, right in the browser.

    One of the most complete image compressor out there, squoosh.app by Google, uses web assembly for decoding/encoding images and it works pretty well.

  4. libvips

    A fast image processing library with low memory needs.

    After some research, I found libvips, a demand-driven, horizontally threaded image processing library. It is designed to run quickly while using as little as memory as possible.

  5. denoload

    Modern load testing tool using JavaScript and TypeScript, inspired by k6.

    www.bulkcompress.photos is just an optimized GUI of the above function. I’ve also added support for resizing and converting images into another format. Finally, to improve performance, I used the worker pool I’ve developed for my load testing tool: https://github.com/denoload/denoload.

  6. bulkcompress.photos

    Bulk compress photos.

    Also, the source code is available here.

  7. Civic Auth
