Frequently Asked Questions

5 questions answered

Which image formats can I compress?

The compressor supports JPG/JPEG, PNG, WebP, and GIF files. For each format, it applies the most effective compression method — lossy quantization for JPG/WebP and palette optimization for PNG and GIF.

How does it compare to TinyPNG or Squoosh?

ImgToolkit uses the same browser-based compression approach as Squoosh (Google's tool). TinyPNG sends your files to their servers for processing. The key difference: ImgToolkit never uploads your files — processing happens locally on your device.

Can I compress images in bulk?

Currently you can compress one file at a time. Each takes only a few seconds. Batch compression support is on the roadmap.

What's the maximum file size I can compress?

There's no enforced limit. The tool uses your device's memory, so very large files (100MB+) may be slow on lower-end devices. Most files up to 50MB process without issues.

Is the compressed image exactly the same visually?

At quality settings of 80%+, the compressed image is visually indistinguishable from the original on screen. Pixel-level differences exist, but you'll only notice them if you zoom in and compare side by side at 200%+.
