Everything You Need to Know About DexImage Compress JPG

How Client-Side JPG Compression Works

JPEG compression relies on discrete cosine transform (DCT) and quantization tables. By adjusting lossy quantization parameters directly inside your browser using the HTML5 Canvas API, DexImage modifies pixel density without sending your sensitive photographs over the network.

Choosing the Right Compression Ratio

For web publishing, a JPEG quality setting between 75% and 85% yields a 70-80% file size reduction while remaining visually indistinguishable from the raw uncompressed original. For print usage, keep quality at 90% or higher.

Why Browser-Based Client Processing Protects Privacy & Security

Traditional image optimization websites upload your private photos, biometric passport scans, and corporate documents to remote third-party cloud servers. This exposes confidential information to server logs, data leaks, and unauthorized archiving. DexImage runs entirely in your local browser using HTML5 Canvas and JavaScript engines. Your files never cross the network, guaranteeing 100% privacy, GDPR compliance, and zero server upload delays.

Help & Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my image uploaded to any external server?

No. Every single byte is processed locally inside your web browser using HTML5 Web APIs. No images ever leave your computer or phone.

Will compressing a JPG reduce image resolution?

Not unless you explicitly change the width and height dimensions. Standard JPEG compression lowers the file size by adjusting compression algorithms while maintaining original pixel dimensions.
