Questions, answered
How do you get the file under 500KB?+
We search for the highest image quality that still fits under 500KB, and only reduce the resolution if quality alone can't get there — so you get the best-looking file that meets the limit, not a needlessly destroyed one.
What if my photo can't reach 500KB?+
You still get the smallest version we could produce, and we tell you it fell short — so you can decide whether it's close enough rather than being handed an error.
Is my photo stored anywhere?+
No. The image is compressed in memory and never saved.
