Frequently Asked Questions

Can I compress a 10MB photo to 500KB without losing quality?
Yes, in most cases. A 10MB raw photo contains far more data than needed for screen viewing. Compressing to 500KB removes invisible redundancy first, then applies mild quality reduction. The result typically looks identical at normal viewing sizes.
When should I choose 500KB vs a smaller target?
Choose 500KB when quality matters — portfolios, client work, or detailed product photos. For web thumbnails, email, or form uploads, smaller targets (50-200KB) are more appropriate.
