Frequently Asked Questions

Does UtilityHub upload my photo to any server during compression?

No, never. All compression, canvas drawing, and binary calculations occur entirely inside your browser's local sandbox using JavaScript. Your files never leave your device.

How does the exact target size feature (e.g., 50KB) work?

The tool executes an intelligent binary-search algorithm across JPEG and WebP compression quality matrices (0.01 to 0.99) to find the optimum balance that meets your exact size threshold while maintaining maximum sharpness.

Will compressing an image reduce its dimensions (width and height)?

No, the image compressor keeps your original pixel width and height intact by default. If you also need to resize dimensions, use our Photo & Signature Resizer.

Which image file formats are supported?

UtilityHub supports JPG, JPEG, PNG, and WebP files. You can also output your compressed image to JPG, PNG, or WebP depending on what your application portal requires.

Why do government exam forms require images under 50KB or 20KB?

Recruitment portals like SSC, UPSC, and IBPS handle millions of applicant submissions. Strict file size limits allow their servers to store photos efficiently and process hall tickets without crashing.

Is there any limit to how many images I can compress?

There are zero limits. You can compress as many photos as you need without creating an account or paying any subscription fee.

Can I compress PNG images without losing transparency?

Yes. When compressing PNG files, transparency is preserved. If you export as JPG, transparent pixels are automatically rendered on a clean white background.
