Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between image compression and image conversion?

Image compression reduces file size while keeping the same format. Image conversion changes the file format (e.g., PNG to WebP).

Should I compress or convert my images?

Use compression if you want to reduce file size without changing format. Use conversion if you need to change to a different format like WebP.

Can I compress and convert images at the same time?

Yes, if you use the Image Converter, the output is automatically compressed with professional-grade compression.
