Frequently Asked Questions
Why are web PNGs so heavy?
PNG stores full color data per pixel plus metadata. Design exports and high-DPI screenshots carry large overhead that browsers don't need.
Is PNG or JPEG better for the web?
Use JPEG for photos and PNG for graphics with transparency or sharp edges (logos, icons, UI elements). Compress each in its own format.
Does web PNG compression lose quality?
Default compression is lossless — pixels stay identical. Only Maximum mode may convert non-transparent images to JPEG for extra savings.
What's a good PNG size for the web?
Aim for 20-100KB for decorative graphics and under 200KB for larger illustrations. The savings preview shows exact results.
Is this safe for client website assets?
Yes — and private. Everything compresses locally in your browser; nothing is uploaded, so confidential assets stay on your machine.
