Question 1

Is Pixelpress really free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every tool on Pixelpress is free and there is no account, no watermark and no per-file limit. The site is paid for by the clearly marked advertising slots and occasional affiliate links.

Question 2

Are my images uploaded to a server?

Accepted Answer

No. Images are decoded, resized and re-encoded by your own browser using the HTML5 canvas API. Nothing leaves your device, so the tool keeps working with your Wi-Fi switched off.

Question 3

How do I compress an image to exactly 100 KB?

Accepted Answer

Add your image, switch on Target file size and type 100. Pixelpress automatically searches for the highest quality that still fits the limit, shrinking the dimensions a little if the format cannot reach it, then gives you a download.

Question 4

Which image formats can I convert between?

Accepted Answer

You can read JPEG, PNG and WebP files (plus AVIF in browsers that support it) and export to JPEG, PNG or WebP. Auto mode picks JPEG for photos and WebP when the image contains transparency.

Question 5

Does compressing an image reduce its quality?

Accepted Answer

Lossy formats discard detail to save space, but quality 75 to 85 is usually indistinguishable on screen while cutting a photo's file size by half or more. Use PNG when every pixel must stay identical, and preview your result before downloading.

Question 6

Is there a file size limit or a limit on how many images I can process?

Accepted Answer

There is no artificial limit. The only ceiling is your device's memory, since every image is decoded locally. Most phones handle several 12-megapixel photos at once, and desktop browsers can take much larger files.

Question 7

Does Pixelpress remove photo metadata like GPS location?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Re-encoding an image through canvas strips EXIF data, including camera model, capture time and GPS coordinates. That is a useful privacy bonus before you publish a photo online.

Question 8

Can I use Pixelpress on my phone, and does it work offline?

Accepted Answer

The interface is mobile-first and works with your phone's photo library or camera. Because all processing happens locally, the tool keeps working after the page has loaded, even with no connection.
