Frequently Asked Questions

What quality setting should I use?

80% is recommended for most photos - significant size savings with minimal visible quality loss. 70% for aggressive compression. 85-90% if quality is critical. Test to see what works for your image.

Will compression damage my image quality?

JPG uses lossy compression - some quality is lost. At 80%+, differences are usually imperceptible on screen. Below 70%, artifacts may become visible in detailed areas.

How much can I reduce file size?

Varies by image and quality setting. Typical results: 80% quality = 40-60% size reduction, 70% quality = 60-80% reduction, 60% quality = 70-90% reduction.

Can I compress JPG multiple times?

Technically yes, but quality degrades with each compression. Artifacts compound. Always compress from original high-quality sources when possible.

What's the maximum file size I can compress?

Limited only by browser memory. Most devices handle 20-50MB images easily. Very large files (100MB+) may be slow or fail on low-memory devices.

Should I compress before or after resizing?

Resize first, then compress. Smaller dimensions = smaller files. Compressing a large image then resizing wastes quality and processing time.
