Automatic Image Optimization
When you upload images, Screenzzie automatically optimizes them for the best balance of quality and performance:
Compression by Format
| Format | Optimization |
|---|---|
| JPEG | Compressed to 85% quality with progressive encoding |
| PNG | Optimized; PNGs without transparency convert to JPEG |
| WebP | Compressed to 85% quality |
| GIF | Preserved as-is (no compression) |
Automatic Thumbnails
For every uploaded image, a thumbnail is automatically generated:
- Max dimension: 400px (maintains aspect ratio)
- Format: WebP for optimal file size
- Usage: Grid view, previews, and quick loading
You don't need to pre-optimize your images. Upload at full quality and let Screenzzie handle the compression automatically.
