Frequently Asked Questions
How does online image compression work without visible quality loss?
Our image compressor uses hardware-accelerated HTML5 Canvas algorithms to discard imperceptible color data, strip redundant EXIF metadata, and apply optimal quantization matrices. Setting the quality slider to 80% typically reduces file size by 60%–80% while keeping visual sharpness indistinguishable from the original image.
Are my private photos uploaded to any servers?
No. Compression runs 100% locally inside your web browser. Neither your original images nor the compressed results are ever sent across the network or stored in the cloud, guaranteeing complete privacy for personal and professional photos.
Which format provides the best compression: JPEG, PNG, or WebP?
WebP delivers the highest overall compression efficiency, achieving up to 30% smaller sizes than JPEG and up to 80% smaller sizes than PNG while supporting alpha transparency. For universal legacy compatibility, JPEG is ideal for photos, whereas PNG is best for screenshots and logos with sharp text and transparency.
What is the recommended compression quality setting?
We recommend a compression level between 75% and 85%. This sweet spot delivers dramatic byte savings (often saving 70% or more) while maintaining sharp contrast and color fidelity without noticeable compression artifacts.
Is there an image file size or dimension limit?
Because processing occurs locally in browser memory, you can compress high-resolution DSLR photos and massive graphics up to 200MB free of charge, with no daily usage limits or watermarks.
