Frequently Asked Questions
- Why compress to 60 KB?
- 60 KB is a common upload limit for government portals, visa applications, and online forms. Compressing to this exact size ensures your file is accepted without rejection.
- Does compressing reduce image quality?
- Yes, JPEG and WebP compression is lossy, meaning some quality is lost to reduce file size. The tool reduces quality gradually using binary search, so the result stays as close to the target size as possible while preserving visual fidelity.
- Are images uploaded to a server?
- No. All processing happens entirely in your browser using the Canvas API. Your images never leave your device.
- My image won't fit - what can I do?
- Enable 'Allow dimension reduction' to let the tool shrink the image dimensions alongside quality. Switching to WebP format can also save 25-34% compared to JPEG at the same quality.
- What output format should I choose?
- JPEG offers the best compatibility and works everywhere. WebP provides 25-34% better compression at the same quality but may not work with older software. Choose JPEG if you are unsure.
- Is this tool free to use?
- Yes, completely free with no signup, watermarks, or usage limits.
