The Challenge

Clients often upload huge, unoptimized images (4MB+) to their websites, destroying page speed scores. Manually using Photoshop or online tools for hundreds of images is tedious.

The Solution

I wrote a Python script using the powerful **Pillow** library. It walks through directories, identifies standard image formats (JPG, PNG), and converts them to highly optimized WebP files, often reducing file size by 80-90% with no visible quality loss.

Speed

Processes thousands of images in seconds.

Future-Proof

Ensures all assets are served in next-gen formats as recommended by Google.

The Result

This tool is a "set and forget" solution for asset optimization, ensuring that every project starts with a perfect performance foundation.
