Tips

FAQs

What if the image still looks bad at 100KB?

Lower the quality target slightly and try again. For very small targets, some quality loss is inevitable.

Does compression change image dimensions?

No — compression reduces file size without changing pixel dimensions. Use resize to change dimensions.

Can I compress to exactly 100KB?

The tool targets under 100KB. The actual output may be slightly smaller than 100KB.
