Frequently asked questions
Is this hard to use?
No. For most pictures you can upload and click Process with the default settings. Extra controls are optional.
Can I compress to a set size?
Yes. Switch to Target file size and enter a KB value, and the tool will approach it and report the result.
Are my pictures uploaded?
