Format Selection Guide
Different scenarios call for different formats. Choosing correctly yields better compression:
| Scenario | Recommended | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Web images | WebP / AVIF | Smallest, fast loading |
| Logo/Icon | PNG | Retains transparency |
| Photography | JPEG 90-95% | Best compatibility |
| Product photos | JPEG 85% | Size-quality balance |
| Memes | GIF | Supports animation |
| Screenshots | PNG | Sharp text edges |
| PNG / TIFF | Lossless detail |
Quality Parameter Guide
Quality ranges from 0-100. Higher values = better quality & larger files. Recommendations:
| Quality | Result | Size Reduction | Use Case |
|---|---|---|---|
| 95-100 | Near-lossless | ~20% | Photography, Print |
| 85-95 | Excellent | ~50% | Web, Social Media |
| 70-85 | Good | ~70% | E-commerce, Email |
| 50-70 | Acceptable | ~85% | Previews, Thumbnails |
| 0-50 | Noticeable | ~95% | Extreme compression |
Batch Processing Tutorial
Batch processing dramatically improves efficiency. Here's how:
Drop multiple images (or click to select). Free: up to 30, Pro: up to 500
Adjust quality, speed, and output format in Settings. All images use the same settings
Optional: configure resize, watermark, and batch rename rules
Click "Compress All" to start. Progress bars show each image's status
After compression, download individually or use "Download All" to get a ZIP
Watermark Tutorial
Protect your image copyright with text or image watermarks:
Text Watermark
Text watermark: Enter text, choose font size, color, opacity, and 9-grid position (bottom-right, center, top-left, etc.)
Image Watermark
Image watermark: Upload a PNG/JPEG logo, also supports position and opacity adjustment
⚠️ Note: Watermarks are rendered directly into the image during compression and cannot be removed. Keep originals backed up.
Resize Tutorial
Combine compression and resizing in one step:
Pixel mode: Enter target width/height. Check "Lock" to auto-calculate the other dimension
Percentage mode: Click 50%/75% to quickly scale down
Preset mode: 1080p for social media, 720p for web previews
