| Modern WebP | Next-Gen Web Apps | 30%+ smaller than PNG | High Fidelity |
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I compress an image without losing quality?
Plainscan uses intelligent algorithms that remove unnecessary metadata and subtle color data the human eye cannot see. This allows for up to 90% reduction while maintaining professional quality.
What is the difference between lossy and lossless compression?
Lossy compression (best for JPEG) permanently removes some data to achieve maximum size reduction. Lossless compression (best for PNG) reduces file size by optimizing data storage without discarding any pixels.
Is Plainscan's image compressor free?
Yes. We offer a professional-grade free tier for image optimization. Simply log in to your secure account to access our high-speed UK-based server facility.
Which format compresses best — JPEG, PNG or WebP?
WebP generally offers the best balance of efficiency. JPEGs are best for high-resolution photos, while PNGs are ideal for graphics requiring transparency.
Are my images stored on Plainscan servers?
No. To ensure absolute privacy, all processing occurs on secure servers using SSL encryption. Files are automatically and permanently deleted within 24 hours.
How do I compress multiple images at once?
Our tool supports robust batch processing. You can upload multiple files simultaneously and our servers will process them efficiently for instant high-quality output.
How much can image compression reduce file size?
Our intelligent engine typically achieves file size reductions between 60% and 90% for JPEGs and 20% to 50% for PNGs, depending on the image content.
Is image compression important for SEO?
Yes. Google explicitly uses page speed and Core Web Vitals as ranking factors. Reducing image payloads is the fastest way to improve these metrics.
How do I compress to a specific file size (e.g. 200KB)?
Our engine automatically optimizes for the best quality-to-size ratio. If you need a specific target, you can rerun the tool to reach your desired KB limit.
Are there watermarks on my compressed images?
No. All optimizations generated by Plainscan are professional and watermark-free, making them suitable for business, web, and legal use.
