Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers before you use the tool.

Choose the 1MB target, upload your file, then download the compressed copy after processing.

Some compression is always a tradeoff, but the result is usually usable when the original is not extremely detailed or oversized.

You can use common image formats such as JPG, JPEG, PNG, and WebP, depending on the tool workflow.

The original image may be too large or detailed. Try stronger compression, smaller dimensions, or a more suitable format.
