Frequently Asked Questions

Are my images uploaded to a server?
No. AfroTools Image Compressor processes everything directly in your browser using the HTML5 Canvas API. Your images never leave your device and are never uploaded to any server, ensuring complete privacy.
What image formats are supported?
You can upload JPG, PNG, and WebP images. For output, you can choose between JPEG, PNG, or WebP format. WebP typically provides 25-35% better compression than JPEG at similar quality levels.
How much can the image compressor reduce file size?
Compression results vary by image, but you can typically achieve 50-80% file size reduction at quality settings of 70-85%. The tool shows a real-time before/after comparison so you can see exactly how much space you save.
Is there a file size limit?
Yes, the maximum file size is 50MB per image. Since compression runs in your browser, very large images may take longer to process depending on your device's capabilities.
Does compressing an image reduce its dimensions?
No. The AfroTools compressor reduces file size by adjusting encoding quality, not by resizing. Your image dimensions (width and height in pixels) remain exactly the same after compression.
