Keep the original and use the optimized result as a destination-specific copy.
- Check actual output bytes.
- Inspect visual quality.
- Keep the source.
How to use reduce image size
Choose your image
Start with the original file whenever possible.

Frequently asked questions
Are my images uploaded?
No. These image workflows process the selected file in your browser during the session.
Can I keep the original image?
Yes. The tools create an optimized copy; keep the original as your master file.
Does reducing file size always reduce dimensions?
No. Encoding changes are attempted first; dimension reduction is used when selected or needed for the target.
What is the best general workflow?
Remove unnecessary pixels when appropriate, then use a suitable format and moderate compression.
Continue your image workflow
Choose the next tool because the destination requires it, not because every image needs every optimization step.
Privacy and file quality
Keep the original image as your master copy. Compression is a trade-off between file weight, dimensions, format and visual detail. MAXScanner shows the measurable result so you can make that choice from the output rather than a marketing score.
