PNG Compressor & Image Copier
================================================================
This script will:
- Ask you for a folder path containing images
- Create an 'output' subfolder inside that folder
- Leave all your original images untouched
- For PNG files:
* If the PNG has transparency (alpha) -> copy original PNG to output
* Else convert PNG to JPG
* If the resulting JPG is LARGER than the original PNG,
delete the JPG and copy the original PNG instead
- For JPG, JPEG, GIF, WEBP files:
* Copy them unchanged to the output folder
* (If a JPG shares a name with a PNG, the JPG is skipped
because the PNG will produce a JPG or copy itself)
Purpose: Safely compress PNGs that are better as JPGs, while
preserving transparent images and never increasing file size.
