Balance dimensions and clarity
Photographs often retain useful detail at moderate dimensions, while screenshots with tiny text may need a less aggressive target or fewer pixels.

Questions about 100 KB.
What the 100 KB ceiling means before you choose an image.
Will the compressed image stay under 100 KB?
Yes. A result is only shown as successful after its final Blob size has been checked at or below the effective 100 KB limit. If the original file is already smaller, the original file size becomes the effective ceiling.
Why can the result be smaller than exactly 100 KB?
100 KB is treated as a maximum, not a byte count that must be matched exactly. Image encoders produce discrete results, so the best valid output may land below the limit.
Is 100KB enough for a clear profile photo?
It can be when the pixel dimensions match the final display size. A very large source spreads the same 100 KB budget across more pixels and may need to be reduced before it looks crisp.
Why can text look softer after 100KB compression?
Sharp text and interface screenshots expose compression artifacts more readily than many photographs. Check the downloaded image at normal scale and use a larger target when small text must stay legible.
Are my images uploaded or stored?
No. Your original and processed images stay inside your browser and are never uploaded to our server. Refreshing or closing the page clears the working image data from the browser. Files you download remain on your device until you delete them.
