Questions
What people ask before they switch.
Is Brume's image compressor free?
Yes, 10 images at a time on the free plan, with no account and no ads. Basic and up take more at once.
Are my photos uploaded?
No. They're read and written again in your browser, on your device. Only the picture is kept: no EXIF, so no location.
Can it make an image under a size?
Yes: choose a size, such as 100 KB, and Brume finds the highest quality that fits.
