The OneImage Squoosh extension is now live. It brings the full fidelity of our browser-based compressor into a compact popup that travels with you across tabs. Designers optimising app store creatives, developers trimming hero images before a deploy, and marketers tuning campaign assets can now work without leaving their current workflow. Drop an image (or many), select the profile that fits your target, and download results that never touched a server.
Why we built a dedicated extension
Squoosh has always leaned on WebAssembly codecs running entirely on-device. For many of you, that privacy guarantee is non-negotiable. Still, we heard a consistent request: “let me access those presets without opening a new tab.” The extension answers that by embedding the same encoder stack directly in the browser chrome. It opens instantly, shares nothing externally, and respects the same high-contrast UI you already know from the standalone app.
Everything you expect, packed into a popup
Inside the extension you will find the familiar compression toolkit:
- Drag and drop, paste, or browse for files, including large PNG screenshots and layered marketing artwork.
- Choose High quality, Balanced, or Smallest size presets, or switch to manual quality tuning when you want to control the bitrate.
- Export to JPEG, PNG, WebP, or AVIF. You can leave it on Auto to mirror the original format, or force a modern codec when you are chasing bite-sized assets.
- Batch process entire sets. Each file reports its savings percentage and resulting size, and a
Download Allbutton gathers everything in one click. - Keyboard shortcuts mirror the web app, so power users can tab through fields, trigger downloads, and toggle previews without touching the mouse.
Built for day-to-day production
If you already rely on Blur, Overlay, or EXIF Remover, the extension stitches naturally into that toolkit. Capture a browser screenshot, paste it directly into the popup, and move on to redaction or metadata cleanup without breaking your flow. Teams shipping on tight deadlines can stay focused inside their source of truth—Figma, CMS, or analytics dashboards—while the extension handles image weight in the background.
Because the encoder worker runs locally, speed is predictable even on spotty Wi-Fi or corporate networks that block uploads. Assets never enter a queue or touch a vendor service, keeping compliance teams comfortable and meeting the privacy promises we set for OneImage years ago.
Installation and roadmap
The extension ships today for Chromium and Firefox browsers, bundled from the same codebase. Install it from the Chrome Web Store, Edge Add-ons, or Firefox Add-ons once submissions complete, or sideload the signed package if your organisation prefers internal distribution. The live listings are ready here:
We are already testing enterprise policies, offline auto-updates, and richer logging for QA teams managing large asset libraries.
As you explore the new workflow, let us know what makes compression smoother—or where friction remains. The popup architecture unlocks quick iterations, from remembering your last preset per domain to surfacing conversion tips when exporting to AVIF. Send feedback directly through the extension menu or reach us at support@oneimage.co. We are eager to hear what you build with the Squoosh extension at your side.
