- [ ] Show file size reduction/increase
- [ ] Display actual dimensions of output
- [ ] Preview updates on parameter change (debounced)
**Technical approach:**
- Client-side preview using Canvas API for instant feedback
- Optional: Server preview endpoint for accurate Sharp rendering
- Show estimated vs actual file size
### 1.2 Drag & Drop Interface

**Effort**: Low | **Impact**: Medium
- [ ] Drag & drop zone for image upload
- [ ] Visual feedback on drag over
- [ ] Support multiple files (batch processing)
- [ ] Show thumbnail of uploaded image
### 1.3 Batch Processing
**Why**: Process multiple images at once
**Effort**: Medium | **Impact**: High
- [ ] Upload multiple images
- [ ] Apply same transformations to all
- [ ] Download as ZIP file
- [ ] Progress indicator for batch operations
- [ ] Individual vs global settings per image

- [ ] Progressive JPEG encoding
- [ ] Show compression statistics
### 2.3 Additional Transformations
**Why**: More creative control
**Effort**: Medium | **Impact**: Medium
