Frequently asked questions

Is the result exactly 500 KB?
We tune the encoder until the file lands just under 500 KB, keeping the best quality possible at that size.
Are my photos uploaded to a server?
No. Processing happens entirely in your browser, so your image never leaves your device.
Which formats can I use?
JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, GIF, TIFF and HEIC. The result is saved in a light format that upload forms accept.
Will quality drop a lot?
The lower the target, the more visible the compression. If 500 KB looks too soft, try a slightly larger target from the list below.

Your photos never get uploaded

Every operation runs locally on your device using your browser's own image engine. No server, no storage, no tracking of your files — compliant by design with GDPR and Quebec's Law 25.
