Image Compression Basics and EXIF Privacy Guide (Client-Side Demo Tool)

Author here. We put together two practical tutorials:

1. Image Compression 101 – quality %, lossy vs lossless, real LCP numbers 2. 3 Ways to Remove EXIF Metadata & Protect Privacy (browser-only, CLI, upload hook)

Both guides include a live *client-side demo tool* — everything runs in your browser, no uploads or tracking.

Feedback welcome! Tell us your edge-cases, compression tricks, or privacy horror stories.

It's good to have a client side that does not send data to remote, improvements:

- CSP and security headers, currently this site scores D on https://securityheaders.com

- no SRI check on CSS or JavaScript files.

- by loading adsbygoogle.js which invalidates any privacy protection claims.
