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.
What size should an image be for email?
There is no universal target. Ordinary photos often benefit from a few hundred KB to around 1 MB, depending on the use.
Continue your image workflow
After optimizing an image, use the next tool that matches the actual destination instead of processing the same file repeatedly.
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 resulting file size so you can make that choice from the actual output rather than an estimate.
