Supported Formats
You can upload JPG/JPEG, PNG, WebP, BMP, TIFF, or GIF (max 7 MB). Your image is downloaded as a fully optimized JPEG — the best all-round format for small file sizes. Note: because the output is JPEG, transparency in PNG images is removed during compression. To change the file format instead, use our Convert Image tool.
