We support most popular image formats including JPG, PNG, GIF, and WebP. You can compress these formats and also convert between them.

Is there a limit to how many images I can compress?

There's no limit to the number of images you can compress. However, each file should be under 10MB in size.

How does your image compression technology work?

Our smart compression technology uses advanced algorithms to analyze and optimize each image. We identify redundant data and compress it intelligently, maintaining visual quality while significantly reducing file size.

Are my images safe when I upload them to Reduce.Pics?

Absolutely! Your privacy and security are our top priorities. All processing happens directly in your browser, meaning your images never leave your device. We don't store your images on our servers, ensuring 100% secure compression.

Will compressing my images affect their quality?

Our goal is to reduce file size while maintaining visual quality. You can adjust the compression level to find the perfect balance between file size and image quality. At higher quality settings, the difference is virtually imperceptible to the human eye.

How do I compress multiple images at once?

Our batch processing feature allows you to upload and compress multiple images simultaneously. Simply select all the files you want to compress when uploading, and our system will process them all at once, saving you valuable time.

Can I convert from one image format to another?

Yes! In addition to compression, we offer format conversion tools. You can convert between JPG, PNG, GIF, and WebP formats. This is particularly useful when you need specific formats for different platforms or to further optimize your images.

What's the best format for website images?

WebP is generally the best format for website images as it offers excellent compression with high quality. However, for maximum compatibility, JPG is still widely used for photographs and PNG for images requiring transparency. Our tools help you convert to the most appropriate format for your needs.

What should I do if my image won't upload?

If you're having trouble uploading an image, please check that:

• The file is under 10MB
• The file is in a supported format (JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP)
• You have a stable internet connection
• You're using an updated browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge)

The compressed image looks different from the original. Why?

If you notice significant quality differences, try adjusting the compression quality setting to a higher value. Remember that higher quality results in larger file sizes. For images with text or fine details, PNG format often preserves clarity better than JPG.
