FAQ
Questions answered
Does compressing an image reduce its quality?
For JPGs, somewhat: the image is saved again at the quality you pick, from Low (50) to Very High (92), and lower settings trade detail for size. High (80) is the default. Lowering the max width also discards pixels. PNGs are saved losslessly, so they lose detail only when the width setting scales them down.
Why did my PNG barely shrink?
PNG is a lossless format, so the quality setting does not apply to it; the PNG is simply saved again and can even come out slightly larger. The way to shrink a PNG here is the max width setting, which scales it down. The tool keeps each file's format, so a PNG never becomes a JPG.
What does the max width setting do?
Images wider than the limit are scaled down to it, keeping their proportions; narrower images keep their size. 2048 pixels is the default. Choose 1024px for email and web pages, 4096px to keep most of a phone photo's detail, or Original to keep the full resolution and change only the JPG quality.
Does compression remove photo location data?
Yes, as a side effect. Each image is redrawn on a canvas and saved fresh, which leaves out the EXIF metadata a camera or phone attaches, including the camera model, the date taken and the GPS location. If you need that information later, keep the original file alongside the compressed copy.
Are my images uploaded to a server?
No. Compression uses the Canvas API built into your browser, in this tab, and the files are saved straight to your downloads. Nothing is sent to The Drive AI or any other server, so the tool works for private photos and scans, and closing the tab discards everything you loaded.
