I’m documenting my progress while building a high‑performance offline image compression tool that supports 5 formats: JPG, PNG, WebP, TGA, and EXR.

The goal is simple:
- reduce file size without losing visual quality
- keep everything fully offline
- handle large images (including 8K)
- stay stable under heavy load
- support batch processing and multi‑format conversion

I recently ran a 10‑minute stress test on a low‑end machine (2GB RAM).
Windows Image Viewer froze, Task Manager froze, but the compressor stayed stable and completed all outputs.

Right now the tool includes:
- real quality control (0–100)
- no‑quality‑loss mode
- metadata removal
- multi‑output generation
- fast processing even on weak hardware

I’ll keep updating this thread as I add more features and run more tests.
 
Is this a ImageMagick wrapper?

No, it’s not an ImageMagick wrapper. ETK uses its own custom hybrid compression algorithm, especially for PNG, TGA and EXR. ImageMagick can’t achieve the same reduction levels — the video tests on YouTube show the difference clearly
 
Hey, good luck!
Btw, what bring you to do that? Is there a market for that or it's just an opensource tool?
 
Best of luck. Let us know when you make it live. I've actually been looking for this for some quite time.
