Questions
What is a good size for website images?
Under 200–500 KB per image keeps pages fast. Saving as WebP gives the smallest files with the same look.
How do I compress a photo to 500 KB?
Add the photo, keep the target at 500 KB and press Compress. We test quality levels until the file is just under 500 KB, and only shrink the pixels if needed.
Do you upload my photo?
No. The image is compressed in your browser and never sent to a server.
Which format will I get?
The same format as your original by default (HEIC becomes JPG). You can switch to JPG, WebP or PNG in the settings.
