Frequently asked questions

How much smaller will my images get?

Photos typically shrink by 50 to 90 percent, depending on the settings you pick.

Will I ever get a bigger file?

No. If compressing would not help, you get the original image back.

Are my files uploaded?

No. Everything happens in your own browser, on your own device. Your files are never sent to a server, so nobody else can see or keep them.

Is it really free?

Yes. There are no fees, no sign-up, no watermarks added by us and no daily limits. Your device does the work, which is why it can stay free.
