EXIF data is removed by default, at the moment, there’s no way to keep those data. I personally see that more as a feature than a bug though. The primary reason why there is no option to keep EXIF data is to maintain feature parity across different image formats.
The conversion option “Default” is meant to retain the file format when possible, but you can actively select the other options like jpg or webp if that fits your use case better.
Currently, only SVG to PNG is supported. SVGOMG is a great tool I’ve used many times as a user, but since it runs as a Node.js app, it would require server-side processing, unlike the local browser-based approach of this app.
If I understand it correctly, then yes, that’s the case! I’ve utitlized several libraries such as “Browser Image Compression”, “heic-to”, and more, to wrap it in a web interface.
Oh wow, thank you for taking the time creating the feature requests/issues. I just finishing replying to them.
I’ll give the workflow another think and see if it fits within the project as a whole.
Even though this squoosh instance seems to be selfhosted, it has Google Analytics tracking (since Google made this app). MAZANOKE does not include any tracking nor require any internet connection at all if you install it as a PWA.
Edit: Looked at the source code of the fork, and it is applying the same tracking ID (to the big G). As squoosh is apache2 licensed, from my understanding, they should be able to simply remove that off the fork?
Haha, very interesting scenario, glad it worked out well!
That’s a valid question! The app is intended for less tech-savvy people, as such, the terminologies used are to accommodate those users. “Upload” would rather be “Import”, while “Download” would be “Export”.
I’ve shared the use case in a previous Lemmy post:
This app is designed to compress smaller batches of images, aimed at casual users who need to compress and convert a few images at a time.
I created it primarily for friends and family who are less tech-savvy, to help them compress and convert images in a simple, safe, and private way.
If you get around to it, I’d love to know about it and add that as a feature.
