About the Shakalizer
Shakalizer is a tool for intentionally degrading image quality. Each iteration compresses the image with loss, adds JPEG artifacts and makes it look like "shakal" from memes.
Works directly in the browser via Canvas API. Files are not uploaded to the server. You can adjust quality, number of iterations and scale.
Why shakalize
