## What it is
MAZANOKE is a self-hosted, privacy-focused image optimizer that runs entirely in the browser, compressing and converting images on-device without uploads. It works offline as an installable web app and can be deployed via Docker or a static HTML file.

## Use cases
- compress images to a target file size in the browser
- convert HEIC or AVIF photos to JPG or PNG locally
- strip EXIF metadata like location and date from photos before sharing
- self-host a private alternative to sketchy free online image compressors
- resize images by max width/height for web use
- install an offline image tool as a PWA on phone or desktop

## When to choose
- you need private, on-device image compression with no uploads or tracking
- you want a simple tool to share with non-technical family and friends
- you need to convert from HEIC, AVIF, TIFF, GIF, or SVG to common web formats
- you want an offline-capable PWA or an easy Docker deployment

## When to avoid
- you need batch server-side or CLI-based image processing pipelines
- you require advanced editing like cropping, filters, or RAW processing
- you need API-driven automation rather than an interactive UI
