Frequently Asked Questions
Does my image get uploaded to your server? +
No. All compression happens locally in your browser using the HTML5 Canvas API. Your image never leaves your device. This is completely private and secure.
Why does WhatsApp compress my images anyway? +
WhatsApp automatically compresses images to reduce data usage and speed up delivery. Pre-compressing your images gives you control over the final quality — instead of letting WhatsApp make a poor compression decision, you choose exactly how it looks.
What's the best quality setting for WhatsApp? +
80% quality JPEG is the sweet spot — it typically reduces file size by 60–80% with no visible quality loss. For status images (which WhatsApp compresses less), you can go up to 90%.
Can I compress PNG images? +
Yes. You can convert PNG to JPEG or WebP for much smaller file sizes. Note that JPEG doesn't support transparency — if your PNG has a transparent background, convert to WebP to preserve it.
What is WebP and should I use it? +
WebP is a modern image format that's 25–35% smaller than JPEG at the same quality. WhatsApp and all modern smartphones support WebP. Use it for the smallest file size.
