Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Image Compressor tool?

The Image Compressor on Nova Tools reduces the file size of JPG and PNG images while maintaining acceptable quality. It’s ideal for optimizing images for web use, email attachments, or storage, with an optional target size setting.

What image formats are supported?

The tool supports JPG and PNG images. You can upload a single image in either format, and the output will be a compressed JPEG file. Other formats like GIF or WebP are not supported at this time.

How does the target size feature work?

You can specify a target file size (e.g., "500 KB" or "1 MB"). The tool attempts to compress the image to meet or approach this size by adjusting quality and resolution. If the target is larger than the original size, you’ll be prompted to choose a smaller size.

Will the compression affect image quality?

The tool balances file size reduction and quality by resizing images (max 1920px dimension) and reducing JPEG quality. Some quality loss may occur, especially for very small target sizes. For specific needs, test the output or contact our support team via the Contact Us page.
