| Measured fixture results | File reduction: 49.63% · Output size: 2084.2 KB | File reduction: 47.5% · Output size: 2172.4 KB |

| Original historical observation | ResizePixel delivers remarkable quality in Auto (keep the quality) mode: shrinking our 4,137.9 KB PNG by 49.63% to 2,084.2 KB in 7.6s while maintaining a near-lossless 43.94 dB PSNR and 0.9994 SSIM (02_workspace.png). Users just need to ignore the green 'DOWNLOAD EXTENSION' ad on the left and click the real 'Go to Download / Download Image' button at the bottom right (03_download.png). | FreeConvert's standout strength is its massive 1 GB free file-size limit, shrinking our 4.14 MB anchor PNG to 2.17 MB (-47.50%, PSNR=38.53 dB) without login; drawbacks include slower cloud queue turnaround (~12s) and dense contextual search ads (02_workspace.png, 03_download.png). |
| Suitable uses · historical assessment | Users who demand near-lossless visual quality (43.94 dB PSNR) or need to shrink an image to an exact KB ceiling for government/exam portals | Users who need to compress oversized PNG/TIFF/JPEG images exceeding the 5 MB / 50 MB limits of other tools without logging in |
