Frequently Asked Questions

How much can I compress an image?
Compression depends on the original format and content. JPEG images can typically be compressed by 60-90%, while PNG compression varies. The tool automatically suggests optimal settings.
Will compression affect image quality?
Yes, lossy compression (JPEG, WebP) trades quality for smaller file sizes. Use higher quality settings (80-95%) for important images, or lower settings (50-70%) for web thumbnails.
What's the difference between compression levels?
Low: Minimal compression, best quality. Medium: Balanced compression and quality. High: Maximum compression, smaller files. Custom: Full control over all settings.
Should I remove metadata?
Removing EXIF metadata reduces file size and protects privacy by removing camera settings, timestamps, and location data. Enable this for web publishing.
Which format gives the best compression?
WebP offers the best compression for most images. JPEG is good for photos. PNG is best for images with transparency or few colors. The auto-format option chooses optimally.
