As I mentioned in another thread about a week ago, I have recently been commissioned to create a (simple, stupid) CMS.

One of the features I wanted to incorporate into the CMS is image compression. After a good bit of code hacking and testing, I believe I have got something good going there. That inspired me to create an independent web app/service offering this (image compression) to users at large. My employers have given me the go ahead to do this.

Long story short, here is the alpha (link in title).

(Hopefully, I'll have a much more polished design/UI ready over the weekend.)

For now, please test it at will and give me your feedback/suggestions.

(The thread title can be made into an acronym YAICS; not intended :-))

I don't understand why anybody would seriously use such a service. IMO, the risk of accidentally leaking confidential information and/or breaking privacy laws is just too high relative to the benefit of not having to host something like it yourself.

Also: where's your privacy statement?

Looks like you failed to notice above - this, Sir, is in alpha as of now.
