- Use WebP for modern websites and JPEG for maximum compatibility.
- Check the final image at full size if it contains faces or text.

Frequently asked questions
Can every image fit under 500 KB?
Most photos can, but very large or detailed images may also need resizing.
Is the image uploaded?
No. The compression and target-size search run locally in your browser.
Which format is best?
WebP is usually smallest for web use. JPEG is best when a form specifically requires JPG.
