HEIC vs JPG

HEIC is efficient but less predictable on Windows, while JPG works almost everywhere. JPG is the best fallback for broad Windows compatibility.

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
Email High 1200px 50KB – 200KB Email attachments and quick sharing
Print Low (Highest Quality) No resize 1MB+ Printing photos or marketing materials

Actual file size depends on the original image resolution and format.
