Short answer: PixPack includes four built-in presets — Web, Social, Email and Archive — and supports unlimited custom presets that you can save and reuse for repeat jobs.
Built-in presets
| Web | Website and app assets Intended for images that will be served on the web. Pair it with WebP or JPEG output and a maximum width that matches your layout. Related workflow |
|---|---|
| Social | Social media posts and profiles Intended for images destined for social platforms, where dimensions matter more than maximum fidelity. Related workflow |
| Email attachments Intended for images that need to fit inside a mail provider's attachment limit. Related workflow | |
| Archive | Keeping images at higher quality Intended for images you want to keep closer to their original quality, for example when consolidating a photo library. Related workflow |
Custom presets
You can save your own preset and reuse it. The App Store tips suggest saving a preset per project so every export matches, which is the most reliable way to keep a set of assets consistent over time.
Choosing a preset

The App Store description does not publish the exact numeric settings behind each built-in preset. Treat the preset as a sensible starting point, then check the preview and the reported savings before exporting a large batch.
