Why is my image still large after compression?

1. 01Check the downloaded file size and pixel dimensions against the destination requirements.
2. 02Confirm the image format suits its content and is accepted by the destination.
3. 03Read the result notice, then check the format-specific reasons below for unchanged or larger files.
4. 04Return to a source copy, make the relevant size or format change in an editor, then compress and compare again.

• Original file kept
• This image uses a feature we cannot optimize yet. The original file has been kept.
• We could not optimize this image. The original file has been kept.
• There is no removable metadata in this image. The original file has been kept.
• This WebP is larger than the original. Your requested output format was kept.
• This WebP is larger than the compressed PNG. Keeping PNG may suit this graphic better.
• AVIF conversion is not supported; compressed in its original format instead.
• This image is damaged or cannot be read. Please choose another file.
• Not a supported image format
• This image has too many pixels to process
• The server was too busy to finish. Please try again.
• Processing failed. Please try again.

• The image has more pixels than needed. Bitinz does not resize images. Prepare a copy at the destination's required dimensions in your editor, then compress it.
• A photo is saved as PNG. Compare JPG exported from your editor or PNG to WebP where accepted. Keep PNG when transparency, sharp text or the actual result makes it the better fit.
• The file is already optimized. With the format kept, Bitinz returns the original if it cannot make a smaller file. Choose fewer pixels or another accepted format when a stricter limit requires it.
• The WebP conversion is larger. An already small JPG or simple PNG graphic can grow when converted. Compare the files and keep the original format when it works better; JPG to WebP is another export to test.
• The file is lossless or animated WebP. These stay unchanged; only still, lossy WebP is recompressed. Use an editor that supports the file when you need a different size, checking whether animation or exact detail must remain.
• The file is AVIF. Bitinz removes extra file information without re-encoding the picture, so there may be little to remove. Unsupported AVIF files stay unchanged, and AVIF to WebP conversion is not supported. Prepare a different size or accepted format in a suitable editor.

Judge the downloaded file against its purpose: upload limit, readability and display size. If you want to compare Best, start from the same prepared source, then choose the result that meets those needs.

Use the image compressor for a prepared copy, the target-size workflow for strict limits, and lossy vs lossless compression to choose the quality trade-off.

• Check actual file size, pixel dimensions and detected format.
• Read any notice explaining an unchanged or larger result.
• Choose a format the destination accepts.
• Resize an original copy if excessive dimensions are the issue.
• Compare appearance and actual size before replacing anything.
