Automatic Quality Selection
The browser searches JPEG quality according to the source instead of exposing a manual slider.
Large Dimensions Often Survive
Many photos retain useful resolution, but exceptional sources may still be scaled automatically.
Predictable JPEG Output
JPG, PNG and WebP sources all become JPEG; transparency is therefore flattened.
Browser-Only Processing
The large source remains on your device throughout conversion and compression.

Target search is skipped, though export can still re-encode it.
Yes, after quality changes prove insufficient for an unusually large or complex source.
No. Processing stays in your browser.
