Are my images uploaded to any remote server?

No. All image decoding, compression, resizing, and metadata stripping are executed 100% locally inside your browser using Web Workers. No image file or data ever leaves your device.

How do I compress an image to a specific KB size (e.g. under 200 KB or 100 KB)?

Select the 'Target size' mode, enter your desired file size (e.g., 200 KB or 100 KB), and click 'Compress image'. The local engine automatically calculates optimal quality and dimensions via binary search to meet your exact target.

Which image formats are supported by Squeeze?

Squeeze accepts JPEG, PNG, and WebP input files up to 100 MB, and can output optimized WebP (recommended for high compression efficiency and web speed), PNG, or standard JPEG.

Does Squeeze strip EXIF and location metadata?

Yes. Squeeze automatically removes embedded EXIF metadata, camera settings, and GPS location tags during compression to protect your personal privacy.

Can I use Squeeze offline without an internet connection?

Yes. Once loaded, Squeeze works completely offline as a Progressive Web App (PWA) because all compression algorithms run locally on your device.
