Frequently asked questions
What quality should I use?
Around 75โ85% is the usual sweet spot for photographs: a large size saving with no visible loss at normal viewing sizes.
Are my images uploaded?
No. Files are read locally with the File API and processed on a canvas. Nothing leaves your device.
Which format should I be using?
WebP for most things on the web now: well supported and noticeably smaller than JPEG at the same quality. JPEG remains the safe choice for photographs where maximum compatibility matters. PNG is for images needing sharp edges or transparency, such as logos and screenshots, and is a poor choice for photographs.
Why did my PNG barely shrink?
PNG is lossless, so a quality setting has nothing to act on. It can only be made meaningfully smaller by reducing the palette or moving to a lossy format. If it is a photograph saved as PNG, converting it to JPEG or WebP will do far more than any PNG optimiser can.
