Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between lossy and lossless?
Lossy (JPEG/WEBP/AVIF) discards some detail for much smaller files — ideal for the web. Lossless (PNG/WEBP) preserves every pixel, so savings come mainly from re-encoding or resizing.
How much smaller will my images get?
It depends on the source, but photos often shrink 60–90% as WEBP or JPEG at 70–80% quality. The tool shows the exact size reduction for each file before you download.
Can I compress many images at once?
Yes. Add a whole batch, apply the same settings, and download everything as a single ZIP.
Are my images uploaded?
No. Compression runs entirely in your browser, so your images stay on your device.
