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 |
| 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
- JPG is lossy and may slightly reduce image quality.
- Some older Windows apps do not support HEIC images natively.
