localResizeIMG (lrz) is a dependency-free JavaScript library that compresses and resizes images in the browser using canvas before upload, handling device quirks like EXIF orientation and missing JPEG encoders. It loads device-specific files on demand and works on iOS, Android, and desktop browsers (IE10+).

Use cases

• compress images in the browser before uploading
• resize user-uploaded photos on mobile devices
• fix image rotation issues on iOS and Android
• reduce bandwidth when uploading photos from a web app
• compress images taken with a phone camera client-side
• handle canvas image compression across quirky mobile browsers

When to choose

• you need client-side image compression for a legacy mobile web app targeting old Android/iOS browsers
• you want a zero-dependency vanilla JS image compressor with AMD/CMD support
• you must handle EXIF orientation and device-specific canvas bugs on older devices

When to avoid

• starting a new project, since the project is explicitly unmaintained
• you need guaranteed bug-free behavior on modern Android devices, as known issues remain open
• you need a license — the repository has no license file, limiting legal reuse
• server-side or Node.js image compression
