Is ImgCrush really 100% free?
Yes. ImgCrush is completely free to use with no hidden costs, no sign-up required, no daily limits, and no watermarks added to your images. The service is supported by non-intrusive advertisements.
Are my images uploaded to your server?
No. All image processing happens entirely within your web browser using JavaScript and the HTML5 Canvas API. Your images never leave your device. You can even use ImgCrush completely offline once the page is loaded.
What image formats does ImgCrush support?
ImgCrush accepts JPG, JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, and GIF files as input. You can convert images between JPG, PNG, WebP, and AVIF formats. Note that animated GIFs will lose animation when processed.
Can I compress an image to a specific file size like 100 KB?
Yes! In the Compress tab, enter your desired maximum file size in KB (for example, 100 KB) and ImgCrush will automatically find the best quality setting using a smart binary search algorithm to reach that exact size.
How is EXIF metadata removed?
When you upload an image, we re-render it through an HTML5 canvas, which discards all EXIF metadata in the process. This removes GPS location, camera information, timestamps, and any other embedded data, producing a clean image safe to share.
What's the difference between JPG, PNG, WebP, and AVIF?
JPG is best for photos with many colors. PNG supports transparency and is best for graphics with text. WebP offers 25-35% better compression than JPG and PNG with similar quality. AVIF is the newest format with even better compression but slightly less browser support.
Is there a limit on file size or number of images?
There are no artificial limits set by ImgCrush. Practical limits depend only on your device's memory. Most modern devices can handle batch processing of hundreds of images at once.
Does ImgCrush work on mobile phones?
Yes. ImgCrush is fully responsive and works on iPhone, iPad, Android phones, and tablets using any modern browser (Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Edge).
