Frequently Asked Questions

• What's the difference between lossy and lossless compression?

  Lossless compression reduces file size without sacrificing any image quality. The compressed image is identical to the original, pixel for pixel. This is ideal for graphics with text, logos, or when preserving exact details is critical.

  Lossy compression achieves greater file size reduction by selectively discarding some image data. This results in some quality degradation, though with modern algorithms the differences are often imperceptible to the human eye. This method is ideal for photographs and complex images where slight quality reduction is acceptable for significant file size savings.

• Which image format should I choose?

  JPEG: Best for photographs and images with gradients or many colors. Supports lossy compression with adjustable quality levels.

  PNG: Ideal for images that require transparency or have text, sharp edges, or flat colors. Supports lossless compression.

  WebP: A modern format that offers both lossy and lossless compression with better results than JPEG or PNG. It supports transparency and is well-supported by most current browsers.

  For web use, WebP is generally the best choice where supported, with JPEG or PNG as fallbacks for older browsers.

• How do I determine the optimal quality setting?

  The ideal quality setting depends on your specific needs:

  • Quality 90-100%: Use for professional photography, print materials, or when preservation of fine details is essential.
  • Quality 70-85%: Recommended for most web images, offering an excellent balance between quality and file size.
  • Quality 50-70%: Suitable for thumbnail images or when file size is a primary concern.
  • Below 50%: Generally results in visible artifacts but may be acceptable for preview images or extremely bandwidth-constrained environments.

  We recommend comparing the original and compressed images side by side to determine the lowest quality setting that still meets your visual standards.

• Is there a file size limit for uploads?

  The free version of Edit Photo has a limit of 5MB per image and 20 images per batch. Premium accounts can process images up to 50MB and unlimited batch sizes, making it suitable for high-resolution professional photography.

• Is my data secure when using Edit Photo?

  Yes, we take data security seriously. All image processing happens locally in your browser - your files are never uploaded to our servers unless you're using our cloud storage integration feature (Premium only). Additionally, any temporarily stored data is automatically purged after processing is complete.

• Can I automate image compression in my workflow?

  Yes, Edit Photo offers several automation options:

  • API Access: Premium users can integrate our compression engine into their own applications or workflows via our REST API.
  • Command Line Tool: Available for Windows, macOS, and Linux, allowing script-based automation.
  • Integration Plugins: We offer plugins for Adobe Photoshop, Sketch, WordPress, and several other platforms.
  • Watch Folders: Set up folders that automatically compress any images placed inside them.
• Does Edit Photo preserve metadata?

  By default, Edit Photo strips non-essential metadata (like camera information, location data, etc.) to further reduce file size. However, you can enable "Preserve Metadata" in the advanced settings to maintain this information if needed. Copyright information is always preserved regardless of settings.

• Can I preserve the original aspect ratio while resizing?

  Yes, Edit Photo automatically maintains the aspect ratio when you specify either a width or height constraint. If you specify both dimensions, you can choose between cropping to fit or scaling to fit within the dimensions while preserving the aspect ratio.

• How do I get technical support?

  Free users can access our knowledge base and community forums. Premium users receive priority email support with a guaranteed 24-hour response time. Enterprise accounts include dedicated support channels and optional onboarding assistance.
