FAQs
Is resizing the same as compression?
No. Resizing changes pixel dimensions, while compression changes the encoded file size and quality.
Why is my image still above 500KB?
Some images need smaller dimensions or a lower quality cap to reach strict limits. Try reducing width and height, then process again.
