Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about client-side compression, quality loss, and file size savings:
Will compressing my image cause noticeable quality loss?
At the default Balanced setting (80% quality), compression is virtually imperceptible to the human eye while saving 70% or more file weight. You can use the interactive split slider to verify every detail before downloading.
What is the best format for maximum compression?
WebP provides the highest compression efficiency, typically generating files 30% smaller than JPEG and up to 80% smaller than PNG at equivalent visual clarity.
Can I compress transparent PNG images?
Yes! If you select WebP or PNG as your output format, alpha transparency is completely preserved. Only converting to JPEG replaces transparent sections with a solid white background.
How do I compress an image to meet strict file size limits (like under 50KB or 100KB)?
You can adjust the compression quality percentage slider downwards and use the resolution scale slider to downsample dimensions. The live savings counter instantly calculates your exact output file weight.
Can I compress Apple iPhone HEIC/HEIF photos?
Yes! FileFryer includes client-side WebAssembly decoders to open and decompress iPhone HEIC snapshots directly in your browser, allowing you to compress and convert them to lightweight WebP, JPEG, or PNG.
Are my uploaded photos safe and confidential?
Yes, 100%. FileFryer operates locally inside your browser via HTML5 Canvas and JavaScript. Not a single byte of your images is transmitted over the internet or saved to remote databases.
