v0.3.0

Release Notes (v0.3.0) — 2025-12-26

• Solved: Add AI background removal for PNG output #429

Details

🧠 NEW: Local AI Background Removal — Fully Offline, No API Keys

Added an optional local AI background removal feature when exporting images as PNG.
The feature runs fully offline inside the container, produce transparent backgrounds, and never upload images to any external service.

Demo / Proof of Concept

Original Image	Local AI Background Removal (PNG, 800px)
Source: Freepik – Landscape with sunset in Yixing	Processed locally using imgcompress + rembg PNG output with transparency, resized to 800px

All processing is performed locally inside the container — no network access required.

v0.2.8

Release Notes (v0.2.8) — 2025-12-23

• Fallback to Web Mode when no Arg Mode is Provided #426

Details:

Honestly I find it more convenient to fallback to web mode when no arg is provided as this is the latest default in imgcompress.
Many users I chat with said they use just the web mode so why should I require the mode as argument to start it. I was thinking about it so let's patch it :)

No Worries if you still want to use the mode using the old webarg mode from previous releases it is also compatible with that. So backwards compatibility is very important to me so I made sure I test it against new Unit Tests to ensure consistency,

All I can say is thanks for using imgcompress currently over 14k pulls on docker hub which is amazing and unbelievable to me.
