Optimize Photos

Optimize Photos

A script to optimize all images in the same directory and its subdirectories (this also removes EXIF data). Optimized images are stored in a separate folder, so the original images are not modified.

GitHub Copilot wrote 90% of this, I was in a rush lol

config.json

      "upscale": false
    }
  }
