| Fixture findings | Default Balanced mode converts the 4,137.9 KB anchor to a 276.0 KB WebP (-93.33%) with 37.75 dB PSNR and 0.9977 SSIM, keeping text and edges crisp. | Offers before/after preview and colour adjustment; distinguish nearby ad buttons from the real download. |
| Original historical observation | Running 100% locally in the browser (0.0s upload, 0.54s end-to-end), QuickImageKit compressed our 4,137.9 KB (2048×2048) anchor PNG into a 276.0 KB WebP (-93.33%) at 37.75 dB PSNR and 0.9977 SSIM with sharp text and edges (02_workspace.png, 03_download.png). | Optimizilla (imagecompressor.com) shines with its interactive Before/After comparison canvas and 'Colors: 224' fine-tuning slider, shrinking our 4.14 MB anchor by 57.64% to 1.75 MB at PSNR=38.98 dB; however, users must watch out for two green 'DOWNLOAD EXTENSION' fake download ad banners directly above and below the workspace (01_landing.png, 02_workspace.png). |
| Suitable uses · historical assessment | Privacy-conscious web developers and creators who want zero cloud upload and >90% size reduction into modern WebP format | Users who want to manually fine-tune PNG palette color counts (2–256 colors) with a live Before/After preview—provided they avoid the fake 'DOWNLOAD EXTENSION' ad banners |
