Frequently Asked Questions
Why isn't my compressed file exactly 5 MB?
The tool searches for the highest quality level that still fits under 5 MB. Some images (especially very detailed ones) may end up slightly smaller than the target; a few can't be compressed to fit at all without visible quality loss.
Will optimizing my image reduce its quality?
You control the quality level. Lower settings save more space; higher settings keep quality nearly identical to the original.
Is there a limit to how many images I can process?
No. There's no limit on the number of images you can process, and it's completely free.
