| Measured fixture results | File reduction: 93.26% · Output size: 278.8 KB | File reduction: 97.71% · Output size: 94.9 KB |
| Fixture findings | Local processing reduced this fixture by about 93%; results depend on the codec and settings. | Sample testing confirms: under default settings it heavily compresses file size by 97.7% to 94.9 KB with PSNR of 31.14 dB and SSIM of 0.9893, though deliverable size drops to 1024x1024 without alpha channel, earning an 80.3 overall score. |
| Original historical observation | Squoosh is the gold standard of honest online utilities: uploading 0 bytes to any server, its local WebAssembly engine compresses our 4.24 MB 2048×2048 anchor image down to 278.8 KB (-93.26%) in 0.85s while maintaining PSNR=37.13 dB and SSIM=0.9973 (02_workspace.png). | Bulk Resize Photos uses client-side Canvas processing; default settings heavily compress the 4.14 MB image by 97.7% to 94.9 KB, converting to JPEG and scaling to 50% in 140ms. |
| Suitable uses · historical assessment | Privacy-conscious users, developers, and designers who refuse to upload sensitive photos to cloud servers and want fine-grained codec control with real-time split-screen preview | Users needing ultra-fast, drastic image file size reduction where transparency retention is not required |
