Common Questions

How much smaller will my images be?

Typically 50-80% smaller depending on the original format and your quality settings. WebP at 80% quality often achieves 70%+ reduction from PNG.

Will I notice quality loss?

At 80% quality, most people can't tell the difference. The before/after comparison lets you verify quality before downloading.

Is there a file size limit?

The web app handles files up to ~50MB. For larger files or better performance, try the desktop app which has no limits.

What makes this different from TinyPNG?

TinyPNG uploads your images to their servers. CanYouSmoosh processes everything locally - your images never leave your device. See full comparison.
