im-optim

Hey, no, https://github.com/caub/im-optim runs on node.js, server-side, and it's not maintained. Someone else mentioned https://github.com/GoogleChromeLabs/squoosh for server-side image optimization, it might be better maintained, it seems to use webpack image optimizers plugins https://github.com/GoogleChromeLabs/squoosh/blob/master/pack.... There's also https://github.com/imagemin/imagemin for doing this For https://caub.github.io/misc/optim, source: https://github.com/caub/misc/blob/master/optim.html, and it runs the following optimizers (compiled with emscripten to run browser-side) from a Web Worker: https://github.com/as-com/mozjpeg-js, https://github.com/psych0der/pngquantjs

I really like this. Is it maintained? I am guessing the main repo is this one? https://github.com/caub/im-optim If not, can people point me to another out of the box solution? My use case is that I don't want to build an entire image preprocessing/thumbnailing pipeline for image uploads. But if I serve the raw image that the user uploaded, they are typically not optimized for the web. Since I am letting the user upload anything anyway, it doesn't matter whether the image processing is secure (e.g., he can totally reverse engineer the js to upload a non-compressed image, but so what). Client side compression is a pretty elegant solution since you won't even have to pay for cpu cost to process the image. If you don't care to keep the original, it will even speed up the image uploads since they are now smaller. I really see no down sides to
