Compressr is the desktop application for compressing and optimizing images. It supports various image formats and provides a user-friendly interface for batch processing.
With Compressr, you can easily reduce the file size of your images without compromising on quality, making it ideal for web use, sharing, and storage.
The app also offers advanced features such as customizable compression settings and the ability to preserve metadata.
Whether you're a professional photographer or just looking to save space on your device, Compressr is the perfect tool for all your image optimization needs.

## Building and Running the Application
To build the Compressr app, follow these steps:
1. Clone the repository:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/CodeDead/compressr-app.git
```
2. Navigate to the project directory:
```bash
cd compressr-app
```
3. Build the application using Cargo:
```bash
cargo build --release
```
4. The compiled binary will be located in the `target/release` directory. You can run it directly from there or create a shortcut for easier access.
5. To run the application, use the following command:
```bash
cargo run --release
```
### AppImage (Linux only)
To create an AppImage for Compressr, you can use the included Makefile. Run the following command in the project directory:
```bash
make release
```
This will generate an AppImage in the `target/release/AppImage` directory, which you can distribute and run on any compatible Linux system without needing to install it.
Optionally, you can pass a version argument to the Makefile to specify the version of the AppImage:
```bash
make release VERSION=1.0.0
```
