Frequently Asked Questions

How does the target-size compressor guarantee file sizes under 100 KB?

ImgZero uses a binary-search iterative encoder running inside a local Web Worker. It tests encoding quality parameters and minor dimensional adjustments until the compressed output fits strictly beneath the byte threshold.

What is the difference between lossless and lossy compression?

Lossless compression removes redundant internal metadata and optimizes encoding tables without altering a single pixel value. Lossy compression applies subtle perceptual frequency quantization, achieving 60–90% size reductions with no noticeable visual difference.

Can I compress batches of hundreds of images?

Yes! Using the Bulk Image Compressor, files are queued and processed sequentially using Web Workers, then packaged into a local ZIP file for instant download without network transfer.
