In plain words
Recompressor is a free, browser-based tool for optimizing PNG, JPEG, and SVG files. Users upload images and receive trade-off charts showing the relationship between file size and quality across multiple compression options. The tool generates a quality preview and recommendation for each compression level, allowing users to download their preferred versions without uploading files to external servers. All processing happens locally in the browser, and the service includes no ads or fees.
