Output reference

Will my image keep its original dimensions?

Small images keep their dimensions. Larger images are scaled down to 2048 px on the longest edge while keeping the same aspect ratio.

What happens to transparent pixels?

Transparency is retained in the exported PNG. JPEG output is not offered because it cannot preserve transparent areas.

Does processing use a server?

No. The image is decoded, quantized and exported in your browser. The source file is not sent to a processing service.
