What it's for: reduce an image's file size, optionally resize it, and convert its format: all in one step.
- Pick: open an image file.
- Configure: set output format, quality, and (optionally) resize dimensions.
- Compare: check the before/after side by side.
- Save: write the compressed image to disk.
- Quality: a 0-100 slider (defaults to 80) controlling JPEG/WebP compression. Higher keeps more detail at a larger file size. This has no effect on PNG output, which is lossless.
- Resize: set a target width/height. By default, the image is scaled to fit those dimensions while keeping its aspect ratio; an "exact" mode is also available that stretches the image to match the dimensions precisely, ignoring aspect ratio. Resizing uses a high-quality Lanczos filter, which preserves detail noticeably better than simple nearest-neighbor scaling.
Converting a transparent image to JPEG fills any transparent areas with solid white first: JPEG doesn't support transparency at all, so this is unavoidable when choosing that output format. If you need to keep transparency, export as PNG or WebP instead.
