Hi all, I've been in web development for years. I've processed more images than I can comprehend. THERE ARE NO END TO END TOOLS FOR PRODUCING IMAGES FOR THE WEB. There, I've said it. Every tool only covers one small piece of the pipeline. Resizing/Compression, Renaming, Uploading, Scanning, Profiling.. Everyone has their own tools and workflow and no two flows are the same.
Anyway, I built a tool that handles the entire pipeline, but I'm more interested in hearing your story. What is your setup? How do you get images ready for the web?
Hi PH 👋 I'm Levi.
I built the first version of Derivv at Walmart.com. We had a Mac running Photoshop 24/7 — literally just sitting there resizing product images all day. I replaced it with a scrappy app called BigGulp. Ugly, but it worked, and nobody had to babysit Photoshop anymore.
When I left, I rebuilt it as an open-source browser tool. People kept asking for more: a desktop app, saved presets, batch crops, direct uploads, live-site image extraction. So I built Derivv Pro.
The idea is the same: the image prep you do on every project shouldn't need 6 tools and an hour of your day. Drop a folder, hit ⌘⇧U, and your files are live on WordPress or S3.
A few things I'm proud of:
• 100% local processing — your images never touch a server
• Output Presets — set your sizes/formats/crops/naming once, reuse forever
• Web Scanner — point it at a live page, it flags and imports oversized/unoptimized images
