Hey Product Hunt community! š
I'm Gurjeet, a solo founder, and I'm incredibly proud (and a little nervous!) to finally share my first side project with you all: MediaKit.
The Story Behind It:
To be honest, this is my 4th attempt at building this. I failed three times before, but I was so frustrated with the existing tools that I just couldn't give up. The free image compressors out there were either slow, filled with annoying ads, or required me to upload my personal files to some random server. I knew there had to be a better way.
Why is MediaKit Unique?
MediaKit is built on one core principle: 100% privacy.
š Your files never leave your computer. All the compression happens directly in your browser. This means no uploads, no waiting, and zero privacy risks. It's fundamentally more secure.
On top of that, I focused on creating an experience that I would actually want to use:
āØ Blazing Fast & Ad-Free: I've benchmarked it against other browser-based tools. For JPEGs, the compression is almost instant. It's clean, simple, and ad-free.
š Professional Quality: You get fine-grained control with a simple quality slider to balance size and quality perfectly.
A Quick Note on PNGs: You might notice PNG compression is a bit slower. That's the trade-off for doing lossless compression entirely on your own machine. It's a technical reality, but one I chose for the sake of privacy!
This is v0.5, and it's just the beginning. The vision is to build a full, privacy-first toolkit for creators, with video compression and AI tools coming next.
I would be honored to get your honest feedback. What do you think of the concept? Did you find any bugs? Is there anything you'd like to see next?
Thank you so much for checking it out! š
