Frequently asked questions

Will 1MB keep my photo quality?

Almost always. Most photos fit under 1MB at quality 85+ without any downscaling, which is visually indistinguishable from the original.

Are my images uploaded to a server?

No. All processing happens locally in your browser; your images never leave your device.

Is this tool free?

Yes — completely free, no account, no watermark.
