Frequently asked questions

Should I choose JPG or WebP for compression?

WebP usually produces significantly smaller files at the exact same visual quality. However, JPG still has the absolute widest compatibility across older devices.

How much can I realistically compress an image?

You can often achieve 50–80% smaller files with very little visible loss if you set the quality to 70–80%. Push it even lower for tiny thumbnails.

Does it compress the image locally?

Yes. The encoding engine runs entirely inside your browser memory; your image is never uploaded to any cloud server.
