Two free image tools I use that need zero install

I edit a lot of images for the web and I got sick of heavy desktop apps and sketchy upload sites. Two browser tools ended up in my daily rotation:

CompactJPG — shrink images without losing the plot

CompactJPG

Free online image compressor for JPG/PNG/WebP. The part I care about: it processes files locally in your browser, so nothing gets uploaded to some server. You drag in a photo, pick a level, and download a much smaller file that still looks fine. I use it before publishing any screenshot or product shot — shaves page weight without visible quality loss.
