Frequently Asked Questions
Are my photos or images uploaded to any server?
No. All image resizing, HTML5 canvas rendering, and WebP/JPEG compression happen 100% locally in your web browser. Your images never leave your computer or phone.
Which image formats are supported for compression?
You can upload and compress PNG, JPEG/JPG, WebP, SVG, GIF, and BMP files.
Why should I convert images to WebP format?
WebP offers 25–35% smaller file sizes compared to JPEG and PNG at equivalent visual quality. It is natively supported by all modern browsers and improves page load speed.
Does resizing an image reduce its file size?
Yes. Lowering pixel dimensions (e.g. from 4000px to 1200px) or lowering quality compression percentage significantly reduces file size for web publishing.
Is there a file size limit or daily usage cap?
No file size limit and no daily caps! Since computation runs on your local CPU instead of a server, you can process high-resolution images as fast as your device permits.
