Frequently Asked Questions

Will compressing my images reduce their quality?+
Smart mode analyzes each image pixel-by-pixel and finds the lowest file size where the visual difference is imperceptible. You can preview the before-and-after result before downloading to verify the quality yourself.
Is it safe to compress images here?+
Yes. By default, compression runs entirely in your browser via WebAssembly — your files stay on your device. If your browser doesn't support local processing, images are processed on our secure servers and deleted automatically within 72 hours of completion.
What is the maximum file size I can compress?+
Browser-based processing handles images up to approximately 100 MB depending on your device's CPU and RAM. For very large files, the tool automatically routes processing to secure cloud servers.
Can I compress multiple images at once?+
Yes. Upload an entire batch of images and compress them simultaneously. Download results individually or as a single ZIP file.
What is the difference between lossy and lossless compression?+
Lossy compression discards some image data to achieve smaller files — typically 60–90% reduction, ideal for web photos. Lossless compression preserves every pixel but achieves a smaller reduction (10–40%). Smart mode picks the best approach for each image automatically.
Which image format should I use for the web?+
WebP delivers 25–35% smaller files than JPEG at the same visual quality and is supported by all modern browsers. AVIF compresses up to 50% better but has narrower support. JPEG remains the safe fallback for maximum compatibility.
How is browser-based compression different from cloud tools?+
Most cloud tools always upload your images to a remote server. FastImageTools processes images locally in your browser by default — faster and more private. If local processing isn't available, we fall back to our secure servers automatically.
Are my images uploaded to your servers?+
FastImageTools processes images locally in your browser whenever possible. In rare cases where local processing isn't supported or fails, we automatically process images on our servers to complete the job. Server-processed files are deleted within 72 hours of completion. This happens transparently — no action is required from you.
