Are my images uploaded to your servers?

No, all image compression happens locally in your web browser using client-side JavaScript. Your images never leave your device, ensuring complete privacy and security. We cannot see, store, or access your files.

What image formats are supported?

HuPNG supports three popular image formats: JPG/JPEG (photos and complex images), PNG (images with transparency), and WebP (modern format with excellent compression). You can compress any combination of these formats in batch.

How much can I compress images without losing quality?

On average, you can reduce image file sizes by 60-80% without noticeable quality loss using our recommended 80% quality setting. The actual compression ratio depends on the original image content and your chosen quality level. For professional photography, use 90-95% quality.

Can I compress multiple images at once?

Yes, HuPNG supports batch compression. You can upload and compress multiple images simultaneously, then download them individually or as a single ZIP file. This saves significant time when processing many images.

What's the best quality setting for web images?

For most web use cases, we recommend 80% quality. This provides the best balance between file size reduction and visual quality. For e-commerce product images, use 85-90%. For background images or thumbnails, 70-75% works well. High-quality prints require 95%+.

Why should I compress images for my website?

Compressed images load faster, dramatically improving user experience and reducing bounce rates. Google's algorithm considers page speed as a ranking factor, so smaller images improve SEO. You'll also save on bandwidth costs and storage space, especially important for image-heavy websites.

Image Compression Technology Explained

How Does Image Compression Work?

Image compression reduces file size by removing redundant or unnecessary data from the image file. There are two main types:

🔷 Lossy Compression

Permanently removes some image data to achieve smaller file sizes. Used by JPG and WebP formats.

Best for: Photos, complex images, web graphics where slight quality loss is acceptable.

🔷 Lossless Compression

Reduces file size without any quality loss by optimizing how data is stored. Used by PNG format.

Best for: Logos, icons, screenshots, images with text or sharp edges.

Understanding Quality Settings

10-50%

Low Quality

Heavy compression, visible artifacts. Only use for thumbnails or temporary previews.

Medium Quality

High Quality (Recommended)

Best balance for web use. Minimal visible quality loss with significant file size reduction.
