Frequently Asked Questions
How much can I reduce my image file size?
Typical compression results range from 30-80% file size reduction depending on the image content and quality setting. Photos often compress better than graphics with solid colors. The preview shows your exact savings before downloading.
Will compression reduce image quality?
At higher quality settings (80-100), compression is nearly invisible to the human eye. At lower settings, some quality loss becomes noticeable. Use the side-by-side preview to find the right balance for your needs.
What's the best format for web images?
WEBP offers the best compression while maintaining quality and is supported by all modern browsers. JPG is better for photos. PNG is best when you need transparency or have images with text/sharp edges.
Are my images private?
Yes! All compression happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your images never leave your device and are never uploaded to any server. This ensures complete privacy and security.
