Frequently Asked Questions

Get Answers to Your Questions About Our Chat Software and Features

How can I use Cloudinary’s Image to 30KB tool to compress images without losing quality?

Compress images to 30KB or less with Cloudinary’s Image to 30KB tool. We use adaptive quality, progressive rendering, and intelligent format selection to keep visuals sharp and pages quick.

Can I automate Image to 30KB conversions using Cloudinary’s API?

Definitely. Cloudinary’s API can automate targeting 30KB. Send images through the API, applying q_auto:low, f_auto, fl_lossy to reach about 30KB. You can also set firm limits and chain transformations in your upload pipeline so every upload is 30KB or under.

Is the compression to 30Kb “lossless”?

To achieve 30KB, we apply content-aware, perceptual optimization intended to be visually lossless. The quality change is minor and typically imperceptible at normal sizes because edges, textures, and important detail are kept while redundant bits are removed. Lossless compression often goes beyond 30KB; if bit-for-bit accuracy is required, use PNG or lossless AVIF/WebP and expect larger outputs. For most photography and marketing visuals, the perceptual route creates a small file with virtually no visible shift. If artifacts show, increase quality slightly or reduce dimensions to remain near 30KB without compromising appearance.
