Me and my team deal with images a lot. Compress a bunch of photos for our website. Convert PNGs someone sent into WebPs. Cut out backgrounds for product shots. Turn a HEIC into something a CMS will actually accept. Convert a GIF with transparent background to animated WebP.

Every one of those is a different tool. TinyPNG does compression but won't touch animated WebPs. Squoosh is nice but one file at a time. remove.bg slaps a watermark on unless you pay. CloudConvert does batch but uploads everything. None of them do AVIF.

So I'm constantly bouncing between three or four sites for what should be one workflow. They all want me to upload my files. Some want me to sign up or pay for basic stuff. Almost none of them handle animations well.

At some point I figured it'd be faster to just build the thing myself than keep juggling all these sites.
