Frequently Asked Questions

Pixymini is a free, privacy-first image compression tool that processes your images directly in your browser. No uploads, no accounts, no tracking. Your images never leave your device.

Yes! Pixymini is 100% free with no hidden fees, no premium tiers, and no usage limits. We believe powerful image compression should be accessible to everyone.

No account is required. Simply visit the website and start compressing images immediately. We respect your privacy and don't collect personal information.

Pixymini works on all modern browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. We recommend using the latest version of your browser for the best experience.

Your images are processed entirely in your browser using WebAssembly technology. They never leave your device or get uploaded to any server. This ensures maximum privacy and security.

No. We do not upload, store, or have access to any images you compress. All processing happens locally on your device. Once you close the browser tab, your images are gone from memory.

We collect minimal anonymous usage statistics (like number of images processed and aggregate file size savings) to improve our service. We do not collect personal information, image content, or metadata.

Yes. When using client-side processing, your image metadata stays on your device. We also offer an EXIF removal tool if you want to strip metadata before sharing images.

Pixymini supports JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, and GIF formats. You can also convert between formats (e.g., PNG to WebP) for additional size savings.

You can compress images up to 50MB in size. For optimal performance, we recommend processing images in batches if you have many large files.

The quality setting (1-100) controls the compression level. Higher values preserve more detail but result in larger files. We recommend 75-85 for photos and 90-95 for graphics with text.

Effort (1-10) controls how much time the compression algorithm spends optimizing your image. Higher effort means better compression but takes longer. A value of 4-6 is a good balance for most uses.

For photos, use JPEG or WebP. For graphics with transparency, use PNG or WebP. For web use, WebP and AVIF offer the best compression. Modern browsers fully support WebP, while AVIF support is growing.

Yes! Pixymini supports batch compression. Simply drag and drop multiple images or select them using the file picker. All images will be processed simultaneously.

Besides compression, we offer: Image resizing, Format conversion, Cropping, Rotation, Watermarking, Filters, and EXIF metadata removal. All tools work client-side for maximum privacy.

Yes, you can download all compressed images as a ZIP file. This makes it easy to process and save multiple images in one go.

Currently, Pixymini is a browser-based tool. An API for developers is on our roadmap. Contact us if you're interested in early access.

Ensure your image format is supported (JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, GIF). If the image is already heavily compressed, further compression may not reduce the size. Try adjusting the quality setting.

Large images and high effort settings require more processing time. Try reducing the effort setting or processing fewer images at once. Client-side processing uses your device's resources.

Check if your browser is blocking popups or downloads. Disable ad blockers temporarily for pixymini.jvkings.com. Try a different browser if the issue persists.

Lossy compression (JPEG, WebP, AVIF) can introduce artifacts at low quality settings. Increase the quality value for better fidelity, or use PNG for lossless compression.
