GIF vs WEBP
GIF supports animation, but WebP offers smaller file sizes and better compression. WebP can improve performance on social platforms.
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
- WebP is usually smaller, but some older apps may not support it.
- Animated GIFs may convert as a single frame (animation support is a separate feature).
