Inspiration

Most conventional file compression tools rely on cloud-based processing, forcing users to upload proprietary assets to remote servers. We built Squeezes to solve this privacy risk by shifting the entire computational workload directly to the client side.

What it does

Squeezes is a modern, high-performance web utility that compresses digital assets without compromising data integrity. Because it uses sandboxed browser-level processing, your images never cross the network. Your data remains entirely local, secure, and private.

How we built it

Built as a production-ready, client-side web application using HTML, CSS, and modern JavaScript for core computational processing, all seamlessly hosted on Vercel. The interface uses a dark, minimalist, and glassmorphic design system tailored for speed.

Challenges we faced

Optimizing the performance of client-side file reading and data chunk handling strictly inside the browser sandbox without relying on any heavy third-party backend servers.

What's next for Squeezes

Expanding support to handle batch uploads and adding more client-side configuration controls for specific visual output qualities.
