Free Squoosh Alternative — Batch & Exact-KB Target

Squoosh Alternative

BATCH • EXACT KB TARGET • 100% LOCAL

Credit where it's due: Squoosh is excellent, and like this tool it compresses locally in your browser — no uploads. The difference is workflow. Squoosh handles one image at a time with manual quality sliders, which gets tedious when you have a folder of photos or a form that demands "under 100KB".

This compressor keeps the same local, private approach but adds the two things Squoosh leaves out: batch compression (up to 10 images at once, ZIP download included) and an exact KB target mode that auto-tunes quality until each file lands under your limit. It also lives alongside a background remover, object eraser and passport-photo maker — one tab for the whole job.

Frequently Asked Questions

Isn't Squoosh already private and free?

Yes — Squoosh is a great tool and, like this one, it processes images on your device. If you're happy tuning one image at a time, keep using it. This alternative is for when you want batch processing, an exact KB target, or both.

What does 'exact KB target' mean?

Instead of dragging a quality slider and checking the size, you type the limit — say 100KB — and the tool binary-searches the encoder quality until the output lands at or just under it. There are also ready-made pages for 20KB through 1MB targets.

Can I compress multiple images at once?

Yes, up to 10 per batch, with individual downloads or a single ZIP. Squoosh is deliberately single-image; batching is the main reason people switch.

Which output formats do you support?

JPEG and WebP output (JPG, PNG and WebP input). Squoosh offers more exotic codecs like AVIF and JPEG XL — if you specifically need those formats for web-dev work, Squoosh remains the right choice.
