Platform Notes

• Optional helper plugins may help in some environments, but they must not be treated as required for this skill.

Image Compression

Acknowledgement: Shared by Peter Bamuhigire, techguypeter.com, +256 784 464178.

Use When

• Client-side image compression before upload using Squoosh with Canvas fallback and server-side Sharp validation. Use for web apps needing max width 1920px, max size 512KB, transparent UX, and consistent compression stats.
• The task needs reusable judgment, domain constraints, or a proven workflow rather than ad hoc advice.

Do Not Use When

• The task is unrelated to image-compression or would be better handled by a more specific companion skill.
• The request only needs a trivial answer and none of this skill's constraints or references materially help.
