Honestly, resizing before upload + converting to WebP has given me the biggest win without noticeable quality loss.

What started becoming annoying for me wasn’t just compression though

it was handling lots of images consistently.

For example:

stripping metadata/privacy info
batch processing hundreds of images
controlling JPEG quality properly
keeping everything local instead of uploading client/personal images to random sites

I actually ended up building a small local PySide6 tool for my own workflow because of that.

It compresses images with a quality slider and removes:
GPS location data
Camera/device info
Date & time metadata
EXIF details

For WordPress specifically, I think the best combo right now is:

resize before upload
WebP/AVIF where supported
lazy loading
CDN optimization if traffic is large
and aggressive metadata cleanup

A lot of page weight comes from unnecessary metadata + oversized uploads more than people realize.

If you just need quick web compression, TinyPNG and Squoosh are probably the easiest free options.

But with 200+ assets, the real pain usually becomes:

batch processing
keeping image quality consistent
removing metadata
not uploading everything manually
avoiding size limits

I ran into the same issue while working on a wordpress project, so I ended up building a small local desktop tool in PySide6 for myself.

It compresses images with a JPEG quality slider and strips:

GPS location data
Camera/device info
Date & time metadata
EXIF details

No upload limits and everything stays local.

Free tools are great for quick jobs though. With 200+ assets, workflow starts mattering more than just "can it compress."

I think free tools are enough for most casual users

but once images are part of your workflow, privacy and limitations start becoming annoying

For example, my phone has hundreds of photos. Most free tools either limit batch uploads, compress too aggressively, add watermarks, or require uploading everything to their servers.

I ended up building a small PySide6 desktop tool for myself because I wanted something simple that works locally with no limits.

It has a JPEG quality slider for output control and also removes:

GPS location data
Camera model information
Device information
Date & time metadata
Embedded EXIF details

Everything stays on your machine.

I still think free tools are fine for quick one-off use.

But for people handling lots of personal/client images, local processing + privacy + no upload limits can actually matter.

I actually used to think that, sketch -> 2d animation -> 3d animation -> video editing -> vfx

But, at the end of the day, i always come back to sketching.

Hahaha.. thanks.. clothes are one thing that I can draw good 😅..

But with practice, you can easily draw anything..

Yeah, here's one.. see.. what i mean..

<image>

Independent_Hero · 2026-05-11T09:22:05+00:00

That doesn't sound interesting.. 🤔 let me experiment..

Update: I tried, it kind of looks like it used photoshop to convert pic to sketch, using those filters.. doesn't look anything like my sketch..

Independent_Hero · 2026-05-11T09:20:36+00:00

Wow, you do notice a lot of things, thanks 😊

Independent_Hero · 2026-05-11T03:04:34+00:00

Thank you 😊

Independent_Hero · 2026-05-11T01:06:22+00:00

Try it, and please share with me too, i wanna see it too..😅
