Frequently asked questions
- Is 500 KB still 'compressed'?
- Yes, but gently. At 500 KB most photographs keep their fine detail and gradients, so it's the right target when quality matters more than squeezing the last kilobyte. You still typically save a large share of the original camera file size.
- When should I use 500 KB?
- Large hero images, photography portfolios, and pictures that will be viewed full-width on a big screen — anywhere visible softening would be unacceptable. It's also a safe target when you may want to print the image small later.
- Is 500 KB too heavy for a web page?
- For one prominent image, no. For a page with a dozen of them, it adds up and will slow the page down. Use 500 KB for the images that deserve it and a smaller target for the rest.
- Are my images uploaded to a server?
- No. Compression happens entirely in your browser — your images never leave your device.
