Can I compress an image to exactly 100 KB or 200 KB?
The target is a size limit to work towards, rather than an exact output size. The result can be smaller, or remain above the target if the available adjustments cannot reach it. Review any above-target warning before downloading.
Which output format should I choose?
JPG is a practical choice for photographs when transparency is unnecessary. WEBP is useful for web images when the destination accepts it. PNG is useful for transparent artwork and crisp graphics, although it can produce larger files. Start with the formats your website or upload form supports.
Will reducing file size affect image quality?
It can. Stronger lossy compression can soften detail or introduce artefacts, while reducing dimensions removes pixels. Compare the output at its intended display size. If the result looks too soft, try a larger target size.
Why is my compressed image still above the target?
Detailed images, large dimensions and the chosen format can make a very small target difficult to reach. Try another accepted format, smaller starting dimensions or a higher limit if the destination allows it. PNG output does not respond to a lossy quality setting in the same way as JPG or WEBP.
Are my images uploaded to 27tools?
No. The compressor processes the selected images in your browser. Your image files do not need to be sent to 27tools for compression.
