🌟 Key Superpowers

🔒 1. 100% On-Device Privacy Guarantee

Zero tracking, zero analytics on your files, and zero cloud storage uploads. Every single photo is transcoded directly in your computer or smartphone's local RAM and WebAssembly. No server ever sees or stores your images or photos.

🍏 2. Apple HEIC / HEIF WebAssembly Engine

iPhones capture photos in proprietary .heic format. MakeSpace includes an embedded in-browser WebAssembly decoder that seamlessly converts .heic directly into universally compatible .webp files.

🎚️ 3. Smart Memory Slicing (Anti-Freeze Batching)

Compressing 200+ high-res photos at once can crash phone browsers. MakeSpace slices heavy queues into smart micro-batches (50 / 100 / 200) with a live progress HUD and memory garbage-collection checkpoints.

🧠 4. Tab Crash Recovery & Session Resume

Accidentally refreshed the tab or lost battery midway? MakeSpace automatically saves your session checkpoints in local storage, allowing you to resume right where you left off with 1 click.

📁 5. Auto Folder Naming & Direct PC Folder Saving

• Upload an entire folder named rumahku ➔ Download is automatically named rumahku-optimized-webp.zip.
• Original filenames are preserved cleanly (bali1.jpg ➔ bali1.webp).
• Desktop Chrome / Edge: Features 📁 Save Directly to PC Folder using the File System Access API — writes all WebP photos directly to your hard drive without needing to unzip!

📲 6. Installable Offline PWA

Install MakeSpace as a standalone app on your iPhone (via Safari ➔ Add to Home Screen) or Android / Windows / Mac desktop for fast 1-tap offline access.
