Google introduced its own online service for compressing images without losing quality. The new product is called Squoosh.app and presented it at the conference, developers Chrome Dev.

Unlike most analogues, the decision of the search giant is actually a web application, which once installed can compress directly on your device, even if it is not connected to the Internet.

According to the creators, Squoosh can run without Internet connection after the initial download of the website. For users of mobile devices and is offered the option to install a desktop shortcut, clicking on which will open the service interface.

The advantage of this approach is that the images are not loaded on the remote server, thereby reducing the time required for image compression.

Despite the fact that all compression calculations are carried out locally, Squoosh offers the user a wide range of editing tools and a choice of image formats after conversion and compression. And thanks to the maximum visibility available elements to assess the changes that will occur with the image after processing by algorithms, it is possible before the final save.

To be completely accurate, it is impossible to say that the algorithms Squoosh shrink image completely without quality loss. In fact, there were losses, but they are so small that they can be found, only if you zoom the picture several times.

In this case, you will notice that the microscopic elements like hair or lint on clothes on compressed images look more blurry that you can’t see under normal conditions.
