Smart compression

Per-image quality settings, no human involved

Our AI analyzes an image and sets the correct compression level to just before visual artifacts appear. Combine it with an auto-format selection, and you’ve got 
the best compression to quality ratio on the market.

50–60% smaller file size compared to the most popular open-source solutions
