Questions and Answers

Why is WebP the recommended format?

WebP is the modern web standard, offering up to 30% smaller files than JPG with the same visual quality. It is supported in every current browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge).

How do I compress an image without losing quality?

To compress an image without perceptible quality loss, keep the quality slider above 70%. In that range the visual difference is imperceptible in most photos. For images with text, graphics, or fine detail, stay above 85% to preserve sharpness.

Are my images uploaded to any server?

No. Compression happens directly in your browser, so your images are not uploaded or stored on any server.

What is the maximum file size?

There is no hard limit, but since processing uses your browser memory, we recommend images up to 50 MB for a smooth experience. Very large files may slow down depending on your device.
