Convert the images on a page to WebP without leaving it
Hoverify re-encodes what the page already loaded, at a format and quality you choose, and swaps the results in so you can see the compression rather than read a number about it.
Pick a format, pick a quality, watch the page get lighter
The original and optimized totals sit next to each other while the batch runs, so the trade you're making is visible the whole time.
Four formats. WebP, JPEG, PNG or Auto to decide per image. Quality runs 50 to 100, starting at 80.
Resize to fit. Original size, displayed size or 2x of displayed, never upscaled past the source.
Before and after. Both totals stay on screen, and the page shows the compressed version in place.
A ZIP of the optimized files, or just the number
Sometimes the point is shipping the smaller images. Sometimes it's proving to someone that the images are the problem.
Save optimized. Zips what the batch re-encoded. Greyed out until there's something in it.
Nothing leaves your browser. The re-encode runs locally, and reloading the page puts the original images back.
Part of the Debug panel. Alongside custom code, browsing data and the accessibility audit.

Been using it from the start - excellent dev who listens and is active on FB. What more can you ask for. Much appreciated! This little tool is getting better by the day!
