Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is my data secure and private?
Yes. Unlike cloud-based converters, this tool runs entirely on your local machine using client-side scripts. Your images are never uploaded to any remote server or stored anywhere.
Will compressing my image hurt its visual quality?
Our balanced option offers the ideal threshold where file size drops significantly while visual degradation remains imperceptible to the human eye. Maximum compression is ideal when strict file size caps apply (e.g., job application portals or administrative forms).
Is there any file size limit?
Because processing relies on your device's browser capacity rather than a constrained server memory limit, you can safely process high-resolution images smoothly.
