FAQ

Does my image leave my computer?+

No. Compression happens entirely in your browser using the browser-image-compression library. Nothing is uploaded.

What quality setting should I pick?+

70–80% is the sweet spot for most photos — visually identical to the original, often 70% smaller. Use 90%+ for hero images on a website. Drop to 50–60% if you need maximum compression and the image will only be viewed at small sizes.

Why is the output sometimes bigger?+

If the input is already heavily compressed (e.g., a Twitter screenshot), the encoder may not be able to do better. The tool will tell you when this happens.
