Frequently Asked Questions
How does image compression work?
Our image compressor uses advanced algorithms to reduce file size by removing unnecessary metadata and optimizing pixel data. The compression happens entirely in your browser using HTML5 Canvas technology, which analyzes your image and re-encodes it at your chosen quality level. This process removes redundant information while preserving the visual appearance of the image.
Is my image data safe and private?
Yes, absolutely! All image processing happens locally in your web browser. Your images never leave your device or get uploaded to our servers. This client-side processing ensures complete privacy and security for your photos and graphics. Once you close the browser tab, all data is immediately cleared from memory.
What compression quality should I choose?
For most web use cases, 70-85% quality provides an excellent balance between file size reduction and visual quality. For social media, 70-75% works well. For professional photography or print materials, use 85-95%. The tool shows real-time previews so you can compare and choose the perfect setting for your needs.
Can I compress multiple images at once?
Currently, the tool processes one image at a time to ensure optimal performance and allow you to fine-tune compression settings for each image. After compressing one image, simply click "Compress Another" to process additional files with the same quick workflow.
What's the maximum image size I can compress?
The tool can handle most standard image files, typically up to 50MB depending on your device's memory. Very large images may take longer to process. If you encounter issues with extremely large files, try resizing them first or using a lower quality setting for better performance.
