Frequently asked questions
Do you upload images for compression?+
No. Compression runs entirely in your browser and your images are not uploaded to a server.
Can I compress a JPG to a specific size in KB?+
Yes. Enable Target size and use the KB slider to aim for an approximate output size (results can vary by image content).
How do I keep quality while reducing file size?+
Use a higher Quality value for better visuals, and adjust Target size as needed. For very small targets, some quality loss is expected.

Yes. Turn on Batch mode to compress up to 5 images and download them as a ZIP.
What is a good target size for web images?+
For hero images: under 200KB. For thumbnails and cards: under 50KB. For email attachments: under 1MB.
