Frequently Asked Questions
Find quick answers to common questions about TinyImagePro's image compression tools.
What is TinyImagePro?
TinyImagePro is a free online image compression tool that helps reduce file sizes while maintaining image quality. Our tools work entirely in your browser, ensuring your images never leave your device for maximum privacy and security.
Is TinyImagePro really free?
Yes, TinyImagePro is completely free to use with no limits on file size, number of compressions, or features. There are no hidden costs, subscriptions, or premium tiers.
Do I need to create an account?
No account registration is required. You can start compressing images immediately without signing up or providing any personal information.
How much can I compress my images?
Compression results vary by image content, but typically:
- High Quality: 30% file size reduction
- Balanced: 60% file size reduction
- Small File: 80% file size reduction
Results depend on the original image complexity, colors, and format.
How do I compress PNG without losing quality?
PNG compression uses lossless algorithms that reduce file size without degrading image quality. Our PNG compressor:
- Removes unnecessary metadata
- Optimizes color palettes
- Uses advanced compression algorithms
- Preserves transparency
Choose "High Quality" mode for maximum quality retention.
What's the difference between the compression levels?
Our three compression levels offer different quality-size trade-offs:
- High Quality (0.9): Minimal quality loss, moderate file size reduction
- Balanced (0.7): Good balance between quality and file size
- Small File (0.5): Maximum compression for smallest files
Choose based on your needs: web use, storage, or print quality requirements.
What file formats do you support?
TinyImagePro currently supports the most common image formats:
- JPEG/JPG: Best for photos and complex images
- PNG: Best for graphics, logos, and images with transparency
- WebP: Modern format with excellent compression and quality
We're working on adding support for additional formats like GIF and SVG.
How do I convert JPG to WebP?
To convert JPG to WebP:
- Upload your JPG image to our compressor
- Select your desired compression level
- Choose "WebP" as the output format
- Download your optimized WebP file
WebP typically provides 25-35% better compression than JPEG while maintaining similar quality.
When should I use JPEG vs PNG vs WebP?
Choose the right format for your use case:
- JPEG: Photos, complex images, when file size is critical
- PNG: Images with transparency, simple graphics, logos, screenshots
- WebP: Modern web use, best compression, supports transparency
WebP is ideal for web use if browser support isn't a concern.
What's the maximum file size I can compress?
TinyImagePro can handle files up to 50MB. For very large files, compression may take longer, but there are no restrictions on file size within this limit.
Why is my image taking so long to compress?
Processing time depends on several factors:
- Image file size and dimensions
- Image complexity and colors
- Your device's processing power
- Compression level selected
Large images (>10MB) may take 5-10 seconds to process. Try reducing image dimensions before compression for faster results.
Which browsers are supported?
TinyImagePro works on all modern browsers:
- Chrome 80 and later
- Firefox 75 and later
- Safari 13 and later
- Edge 80 and later
- Mobile browsers (iOS Safari, Android Chrome)
For best performance, keep your browser updated to the latest version.
