Why Client-Side Image Compression is Better for Privacy
DevToolVault Team•
Most online image compressors work by uploading your file to their server, processing it, and sending it back. This raises a massive privacy red flag: What happens to your image after you upload it?
The Risks of Server-Side Processing
- Data Retention: Servers might keep a copy of your image indefinitely.
- Data Breaches: If the server is hacked, your uploaded files could be exposed.
- Hidden Metadata: Images often contain EXIF data (GPS location, camera details) that you might not want to share.
The Client-Side Revolution
Modern browsers are powerful enough to handle complex image processing tasks right on your device. DevToolVault's Image Compressor uses advanced WebAssembly and JavaScript libraries to compress your images locally.
