## What it is
Pic Smaller is a free, open-source batch image compressor that runs entirely in the browser, supporting JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, SVG, AVIF, and HEIC/HEIF inputs. Images are processed locally with Web Workers, WebAssembly, and browser codecs, so files never leave the user's device.

## Use cases
- compress images for the web without uploading them anywhere
- batch compress a folder of JPEG and PNG photos
- convert HEIC iPhone photos to JPEG or WebP
- resize and crop images before publishing
- compare compressed vs original image quality side by side
- compress images offline for privacy-sensitive workflows

## When to choose
- you need fast, private, no-signup image compression in a browser
- you want batch processing with format conversion, resize, and crop in one tool
- you prefer a self-hostable static site with no server-side processing

## When to avoid
- you need command-line or scripted/automated image compression in a build pipeline
- you require very large files or heavy workloads beyond browser memory limits
- you need advanced AI editing features only available in the paid desktop edition
