Use case questions

What is PixPack most commonly used for?

The most common uses are preparing web and app assets, shrinking email attachments, reclaiming disk space from photo folders, and preparing images for social media, marketplace listings and documentation.

Do I need different settings for each use case?

Often yes, which is why PixPack includes Web, Social, Email and Archive presets and lets you save your own custom presets for repeat jobs.

Does PixPack work for professional and commercial workflows?

Yes. PixPack processes images locally with no upload step, which makes it suitable for client work, internal documentation and other material that should not leave the machine.
