I've been using https://squoosh.app/ a lot recently. Found it in a similar thread

EDIT: It is an image compression site where the images never leave your device. Or so the privacy policy says anyway. It took some tweaking, but i've had some images with an 80%+ size reducrion with almost no perceivable quality loss.

can you edit in a description of what it does? (I mean it's pretty evident when you visit at first glance but just for others convenience)

in the mean time, for anyone reading, it's an image compression site

Done, thanks for the suggestion. I forget things like that sometimes.

I'd also like to highlight TinyPNG. It does compress images pretty well and does batching of up to 20 images of 5 mb each for free.

And, of course, its counterpart SVG OMG with super fine grain controls.
