Image Compressor

Description

This project is an image compression tool that allows users to optimize their images to reduce file size without significantly affecting quality. The software supports various image formats including JPG, JPEG, PNG, BMP, and GIF. It features a GUI built with CustomTkinter, making it user-friendly and accessible for both technical and non-technical users.

Features

• Support for multiple image formats.
• Automatic quality adjustment based on image size.
• Display of optimization progress and results.
• Simple and intuitive graphical user interface.

Compression Example

Below is a visual comparison between an original image and its compressed version using our Image Compressor. The example demonstrates the effectiveness of the compression with minimal loss of quality.

Original Image	Compressed Image
Size: 1.35 MB	Size: 0.98 MB

As shown in the table above, the compressed version retains substantial visual quality while significantly reducing the file size. This example used a compression setting that balances quality with file size reduction.
