## Problem
I work with lots of images for web projects and manually compressing them takes forever. Online tools have file size limits and privacy concerns. Need a desktop tool that can batch compress while maintaining good quality and supporting different output formats.
## Desired Outcome
A desktop application that can batch compress images with customizable quality settings and format conversion. Should preserve metadata when needed and provide before/after comparisons.
