MAZANOKE is a simple image optimizer that runs in your browser, works offline, and keeps your images private without ever leaving your device.

Created for everyday people and designed to be easily shared with family and friends, it serves as an alternative to questionable “free” online tools.

See how you can easily self-host it here:

Highlights from v1.1.5 (view full release note)

The focus of this release has been to improve the core foundation and file format support, but I’m planning to expand with more features further down the road in order to improve the usefulness of MAZANOKE (while still keeping the UX simple).

  • Support basic authentication for Docker setups.
  • TIFF file format support.
    • Convert from TIFF → JPG, PNG, WebP, ICO
  • ICO file format support.
    • Convert from and to an ICO image.

I also feel incredibly honored that MAZANOKE was recently featured on several of my favorite communities:

It’s been incredible to see the growth of the user base, with over 54,000 docker pulls for the previous release alone, and now reaching over 1400 stars! I never anticipated this at all and I’m truly grateful for the support!

I’d like to thank everyone who helped spread the word, whether through starring, word of mouth, community engagement, blog posts, or by packaging it for things like Unraid and NixOS, and everything in between!

    For me this begs the question, why not just a desktop application?

      For me this begs the question, why does this question always come up in selfhosted communities? ;)

      For me I like self-hosted apps because I switch between desktop and laptop, and some tools are nice to have on a phone too. This way I pull it in-house, and can use it everywhere. Besides that, there are two other laptops in the house and if I am using those I have the same tools available as well. It its something I need to help the kids with, and they need to use it more often they too can use it regardless of device. Plus its one less thing to install when setting up a new device.

        I didn’t realize this comes up a lot 😅. I’ll restrain myself next time!

      From what I read, it could easily be a tauri app, without a backend: just index.html in your system’s webview.
