GIF vs PNG
GIF has limited colors, while PNG offers full color and lossless quality. PNG is much better suited for print.
Compression Presets
Presets automatically adjust compression and image size depending on how the image will be used.
| Preset | Compression | Max Dimensions | Typical File Size | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Web | Medium | 1920px | 200KB – 800KB | Websites, blogs, landing pages |
| Social | Medium-High | 1200px | 100KB – 400KB | Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn |
| High | 1200px | 50KB – 200KB | Email attachments and quick sharing | |
| Low (Highest Quality) | No resize | 1MB+ | Printing photos or marketing materials |
Actual file size depends on the original image resolution and format.
Common pitfalls
- PNG files are often larger than JPG/WebP. Use PNG when you need transparency or lossless output.
- Animated GIFs may convert as a single frame (animation support is a separate feature).
