Frequently asked questions
Does compression reduce visible quality?
Lossy compression always trades bytes for detail. Pix-8 exposes quality sliders so you can preview the balance before export.
Which format should I choose for the web?
WebP and AVIF offer excellent compression for photos. PNG remains best for transparency. The Converter lets you compare outputs side by side.
Is the Background Remover really local?
Yes. Models run via WebAssembly and ONNX in your browser. Images are not uploaded for cloud inference.
When should I strip metadata?
Before publishing client work, social posts from your phone, or any image that may contain GPS or device identifiers.
