Stretta – Image Compressor App

Stretta is a high-performance desktop application that provides users with complete control over their image compression needs while maintaining absolute privacy through local processing. Built using Rust, Tauri, React, Vite, and Tailwind CSS, the application combines the security and performance of Rust with a modern, intuitive user interface featuring both dark and light modes.

Developed as a learning project to explore Rust development, Stretta addresses the growing concern about privacy in online image processing tools by ensuring that all compression operations happen locally on the user's machine. No images are ever uploaded to external servers, providing users with complete confidence in their data security while delivering professional-grade compression results. The application supports multiple input formats (JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP, BMP) and offers various compression methods including lossy JPEG, lossless PNG, and both lossy and lossless WebP compression.
