Processing runs on your WordPress server. Images are not added to the Media Library. EXIF orientation is applied when PHP EXIF support is available.

Prepared files

Preview, inspect and download

Choose an image and prepare it to see your result here.

Downloads are generated files, not links to stored uploads. Batch and layout tools can return several files.

Image Preparation

Compression trades some appearance for a chosen encoding size, with results that vary by image.

Choose JPEG or supported WebP quality and compare the output with the original.

02 / A CLEARER WORKFLOW

Why choose this tool?

A quality control gives you a repeatable setting to evaluate rather than a promised saving percentage.

Before you use the result

Compare the finished picture with its source. Reencoding, format choice and the original file's compression can produce a larger result.
