Frequently asked questions
Are the tools really free?
Yes. Every tool on this page is free to use as often as you like, with no account and no watermark. The site is supported by advertising, which keeps the tools free for everyone.
Do you store or see my images?
No. Your image is opened and processed inside your own browser and is never sent to us or stored anywhere. We could not look at your photos even if we wanted to — the technology simply never transmits them.
Why does a compressed photo sometimes look the same?
Most photos from modern phones contain far more detail than a screen can show. Removing some of that hidden detail shrinks the file a lot while the picture looks almost identical. That is the idea behind the guides on this site about compressing without visible quality loss.
Which format should I choose?
For photographs, JPG is the safe all-rounder and WebP is usually even smaller. Choose PNG when your image has transparency, sharp text or a logo, because PNG keeps edges perfectly crisp.
