I got tired of Android photo tools that uploaded my files to a remote server just to resize them. I needed something that processed everything locally, kept my data private, and gave me exact control over compression quality.
So I built ImageSlim Pro. It handles batch resizing and format conversions directly on your device—no cloud required. If you manage a lot of photos and care about your pixels, give it a look.

The two were eventually combined to create JPEG XL (often shortened to JXL), […]
