Frequently asked questions

It depends on the image and on how much you reduce it. A light reduction usually looks the same, especially on large photos, while a heavy reduction makes the loss in quality easier to see. You can preview the result before saving it, and start again with a smaller reduction if needed.
ezyZip is an online tool that supports any OS that can run a modern browser. We have tested it to work with Windows, MacOS, Linux (e.g. Ubuntu, Mint, Debian), Android, ChromeOS (Chromebook), iOS (iPhone, iPad & iPod Touch).

We are continuously updating the system, so ensure you are using the latest version of one of the popular browsers or their variants. (e.g. Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera).

ezyZip is a set of utilities for dealing with compressed files. It is a free online utility to compress your files to a smaller size, including this tool to reduce HEIC files by 90%. No need to install any additional software. It supports a myriad of other image compression options too.

ezyZip processes files directly in your browser. Unlike most online tools, your files are not uploaded to our servers, which means faster processing and better privacy. Take a look at the feature comparison below and we think you'll agree that ezyZip is the better choice for your file conversion needs.

Why client-side HEIC percentage-based compression is faster

ezyZip's WebAssembly engine calculates optimal compression parameters in real-time to achieve percentage-based size reduction for HEIC images. Here is why local processing is faster:

  • Adaptive QuantizationAlgorithms run locally in WASM linear memory, iterating rapidly to match your target percentage without server communication latency. The encoder automatically adjusts quality parameters to achieve your specified reduction — whether that's 25%, 50%, or 90% smaller.
  • Batch ProcessingEntire photo libraries can be processed through dedicated Web Workers. Each image receives individually optimized compression parameters to hit the target percentage, since the same quality setting produces different size reductions on different images.
  • Memory-Efficient OutputThe Origin Private File System stages compressed outputs for efficient batch downloading. Processed images queue on disk rather than in browser memory, so even hundreds of high-resolution images can be compressed in a single batch.
  • Visual Quality OptimizationThe percentage-based algorithm prioritizes perceptual quality, reducing file size while preserving visual detail in areas the human eye notices most — faces, text, and sharp edges receive higher quality than smooth gradients.
