Show HN: I made a privacy-first browser-based image compressor

Hey HN.

I’m a 17-year-old developer, and I recently needed to compress a lot of images for a small website I was working on.

Most tools I found required uploading files to their servers.

That made me uncomfortable, especially since many of the images belonged to clients.

I also ran into another issue: many tools were slow at compressing multiple images because of server uploads.

So I decided to build something that works differently.

I built ConUtil, an image toolkit that runs entirely in the browser.

Hey, I’m Ahmed.

I realized I was spending a lot of time compressing images, or risking client’s data by uploading it.

So I tried to build my own little toolkit.
