Frequently Asked Questions

Will compression make my images look bad?

At quality settings of 70-80%, compression is virtually unnoticeable to the human eye, especially for web viewing. Only at very low quality settings (below 50%) will artifacts become visible. Our tool shows a preview so you can judge before downloading.

Is my image data safe?

Absolutely. All compression happens in your browser using JavaScript. Your images are never uploaded to our servers or any third party. The tool even works offline after the initial page load.

What's the difference between lossy and lossless compression?

Lossy compression achieves smaller files by discarding some data (invisible to most viewers). Lossless compression reduces file size without any data loss but achieves smaller reductions. For web images, lossy is usually the better choice.

Should I use JPG or PNG?

Use JPG for photographs and complex images with many colors. Use PNG for graphics with text, logos, screenshots, or when you need transparency. JPG compresses better for photos; PNG is better for graphics with solid colors.

What quality setting should I use?

For web images: 70-80% offers the best balance of size and quality. For hero images and important visuals: 80-85%. For thumbnails and less critical images: 60-70%. Always preview to ensure acceptable quality.
