Frequently Asked Questions

Does image compression affect quality?

Lossy compression (JPEG) reduces file size by removing some image data, which can slightly reduce quality at high compression levels. The quality slider lets you find the right balance. PNG uses lossless compression with no quality loss.

What is the difference between lossy and lossless compression?

Lossy compression (JPEG) permanently removes some image data to achieve smaller files. Lossless compression (PNG, WebP) reduces file size without any data loss — the image is perfectly reconstructed on decompression.

Is WebP better than JPEG?

WebP typically achieves 25–34% smaller file sizes than JPEG at equivalent visual quality. WebP also supports transparency like PNG. It is supported by all modern browsers.

Are my images uploaded to your servers?

No — all compression happens directly in your browser. Your images are never sent to FixForge servers, ensuring your photos and documents remain completely private.
