Free online image compression tool for faster website loading, supporting JPEG, PNG, GIF, and WebP formats
Imgsli is an online image compressor and optimizer that aims to provide a free alternative to paid services like TinyPNG. It allows users to reduce JPEG, PNG, GIF and WebP file sizes right in the browser, without needing to install any software.
This can help make websites load faster by serving more optimized images. According to the developers, Imgsli is able to compress images up to 80% of their original size, all while maintaining visually lossless quality. It uses various optimization algorithms and some lossy methods to achieve effective compression.
The interface is very easy to use. Users just need to upload an image or enter a URL, choose optimization preferences, then download the compressed file. There are options to tweak aspects like graininess and color accuracy during compression as well.
Since Imgsli runs fully in the browser, it provides convenience and accessibility tousers. There is no need to create accounts or even download applications. The service is also completely free and open-source, licensed under GPLv2.
Imgsli could be a good free alternative for designers, developers, bloggers, and other creators looking to optimize their image assets for the web without paying for premium tools. It may lack some advanced features of commercial platforms, but gets the basic image compression job done.
