Re-encoding can remove or change embedded metadata. Use the Strip metadata option when you want the converted copy to exclude embedded information.
Private image conversion
When the browser can decode AVIF, conversion can run locally in your browser.
Compression presets
Presets automatically adjust compression and image size depending on how the converted image will be used.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Web | Medium | 1920px | 200KB – 800KB | Websites, blogs, landing pages |
| Social | Medium-High | 1200px | 100KB – 400KB | Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn |
| High | 1200px | 50KB – 200KB | Email attachments and quick sharing | |
