I needed a photo compressor, so I built one

Описание и применение

Студент-разработчик из Польши создал настольный фотокомпрессор SnapPress за около шести месяцев. Приложение написано на Python с использованием CustomTkinter для интерфейса и Pillow для обработки изображений. Поддерживает форматы JPEG, PNG, AVIF и WebP.

I started it because I needed a photo compressor myself. It also became a project where I could practise Python and learn how to build something people might actually use.

Using it is pretty straightforward: select your photos, adjust the quality slider, and click “Compress and save”. You can process multiple photos at once and see the file sizes before and after compression.

SnapPress currently supports JPEG, PNG, AVIF and WebP. There are also settings for the output folder, thumbnails and EXIF metadata, including an option to remove GPS information.

It's free and open source under the MIT license. There's a Windows executable available, so you don't need to install Python to try it.
