Frequently Asked Questions

Is my image data safe?

Yes! All image processing happens locally in your browser using JavaScript. Your images are never uploaded to any server. When you close the page, all data is gone.

Will compression reduce image quality?

Our compression is designed to minimize visible quality loss. At 70-85% quality, most images look identical to the original but with significantly smaller file sizes. You can use the comparison slider to see the difference.

Can I compress multiple images at once?

Yes! Our batch processing feature allows you to upload and compress multiple images simultaneously. Just select multiple files or drag and drop them all at once.

What's the best format for web use?

WEBP is the best choice for modern websites. It offers superior compression compared to JPEG and PNG while maintaining excellent quality. All modern browsers support WEBP.

Does stripping metadata affect the image?

No. Metadata (EXIF data) includes information like camera model, GPS location, and capture date. Stripping it doesn't affect the visual quality of the image, but it does reduce file size and protects your privacy.

Is this tool free to use?

Yes! The Qurkx Image Compressor is 100% free with no registration, no limits, and no watermarks. Use it as many times as you want for personal or commercial projects.
