Clear here Step-by-step guide on how to use the application.

If you are a paying user, you can add multiple images in batches.
On this page you can also set the desired compression format. HEIF and PDF are not supported yet but will be added in a subsequent release.
and set the optimization settings.
Wait for the compressed image to appear on the main window.
On the left, these are the input format and size. On the right are the output format and Size.% indication indicates how much space was saved by compressing this image.
Where can I find the compressed image?
Pictures Images that you compress using the application are saved in the default folder and you can remove the compressed image from Access this folder in the main window next to the image.
If there are no images on the main screen yet or you want to change the default folder, go to Preferences -> General - > "Output Folder".
Please note that the output file has the same name as the input file!
What formats can I use to compress images to?
In summary, as follows:
Same as input means the output format will be the same as the input format. So if you upload a PNG image, the output format will be PNG as long as you select "Same as input".
PNG/JPEG/ WebP ensures that the output format matches the format you selected in the settings. Note that images may also be converted! 4K Image Compressor is not just a compressor, but also a converter.
What optimization settings are available for 4K Image Compressor ?
Automatic.
Automatic settings can be changed in "Preferences"->"Automatic Optimization".
From here, you can also enable lossy compression and change the quality parameter for each format. Note that the quality parameter number does not let you explicitly calculate the output file size. Additionally, this parameter works differently for each format.
Lossless.
JPEG files do not support this optimization parameter.
File size.
This setting always gives you lossy compression. Next to the setting, You can adjust the desired size in Bytes (B), Kilobytes (KB), Megabytes (MB), and percentage (the percentage by which you want to shrink the image), so if you want to reduce the size of a 100KB file Shrink by 25%, please select 25%, the output size will be 75KB, 25% smaller than the input file size.
