FAQ

1. What is an Image Compressor?

‍An Image Compressor is an online tool designed to reduce the file size of image files such as JPG, PNG, and WEBP formats. It achieves this by compressing the image data, making files smaller while maintaining reasonable visual quality.

2. What image formats can I compress using an Image Compressor?

‍You can compress images in formats like JPG, PNG, and WEBP, which are commonly used for photographs, graphics, and web content. Need to compress a PDF? Please use our other web tool: PDF Compressor.

3. How do I use an Image Compressor?

‍Using an Image Compressor is simple. Just upload your image to the tool, and it will automatically apply compression. You may have options to adjust compression levels, quality, and even set a maximum width to further customize the output.

4. How can I increase compression or decrease file size further?

‍To increase compression, you can lower the image quality. Some compressors also allow you to adjust settings for a more aggressive compression mode. Be cautious, as excessive compression can degrade image quality.

5. What is the purpose of setting a maximum width (maxWidth)?

‍Setting a maximum width (maxWidth) restricts the image dimensions to a specified size, such as 2000 pixels. This can be useful for images displayed on websites or devices with specific size requirements.

6. Is there a risk of losing image quality during compression?

‍Yes, there is a possibility of some loss in image quality when using compression, especially if you choose higher compression levels. However, the compressor strives to maintain a good balance between file size reduction and visual quality.

7. Are there any file size limitations or image dimension restrictions?

‍Some Image Compressors may have limitations on the maximum file size you can upload or the dimensions of the image. Check the tool's guidelines to ensure your image fits within their specifications.
