ImgCompress: Self-Hosted Image Processing Toolbox

ImgCompress is an advanced self-hosted image processing server designed for efficiency and privacy. Operating entirely within a single Docker container, it streamlines the processes of image compression, format conversion, and AI-powered background removal—all without relying on cloud services. Your files remain on your hardware, ensuring complete control over your data.

Key Features:

• Support for 70+ Image Formats: Handles a diverse range of formats, including HEIC, HEIF, PSD, AVIF, EPS, PDF, WebP, TIFF, BMP, GIF, and many more.
• Local AI Background Removal: Equipped with a built-in AI model that performs background removal directly on your hardware—there’s no need for an API key or an internet connection.
• Bulk Compression: Enjoy fast, multi-core parallel processing that can compress entire libraries of photos simultaneously.
• Format Conversion: Effortlessly convert images between formats, such as HEIC to WebP or PSD to JPG, and batch convert multiple images into a single paginated PDF.
• Per-File Cropping: Crop each image before conversion with preset ratios or enter custom dimensions, allowing for tailored final outputs.
• User-Friendly Web UI + CLI: Navigate easily with an intuitive browser dashboard, or utilize the command line interface for scripting and automation.
• Self-Contained Container: Every necessary codec and library is pre-bundled within the container, resulting in zero host system dependencies.
• Air-Gap Ready: Operates fully offline with no internet requisite after initial setup, ensuring absolute privacy.
