Frequently asked questions
- How does online image compression work here?
- We decode the image in the browser and encode it again at your chosen quality using the Canvas API.
- Is it safe for sensitive photos?
- Yes — files are not transmitted to MidiaTools servers because there are no upload endpoints.
- Will compression always reduce size?
- Usually for photos. Already-optimized PNG or very low-resolution images may not shrink much.
