Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Does compressing an image reduce quality?
It depends on the compression level. If you compress too much, you might see pixelation. However, compressing to 70-80% usually reduces file size significantly without any visible loss in quality.
What is the maximum file size I can upload?
Since the processing happens in your browser, the limit depends on your device's RAM. However, the tool can easily handle standard web images up to 20MB.
Which format is best for websites?
WEBP is generally the best format for modern websites as it provides high quality at very small file sizes. JPG is also excellent for photographs.
