Frequently asked questions

Why are PNG files so large?

PNG stores images losslessly, which preserves every pixel but produces bigger files than JPG for photographs.

Does PNG compression keep transparency?

Yes. The compressor keeps the alpha channel so transparent areas stay transparent.

Should I use PNG or WebP?

WebP supports transparency and is usually smaller than PNG. If your site supports it, converting PNG to WebP is a strong option.

Are my images uploaded to a server?

No. PixTools processes images locally in your browser using your device. Your files are not uploaded or stored.
