Best practices for better results

Image optimization works best when you choose the right balance between file size, visual quality, dimensions, format compatibility and privacy. These tips help you get a cleaner result.

  • Start from the original image whenever possible.
  • Review the output before publishing or deleting your original file.
  • Use related tools like resize, convert or metadata removal when you need a more specific result.
  • Choose the right format for the job: JPEG for photos, PNG for sharp graphics and WebP for modern websites.

Create silhouettes from transparent images

The Silhouette Generator turns visible pixels into a single-colour shape. It works best with transparent PNG or WebP images, logos, icons, stickers and cut-out subjects where the background has already been removed.

Best uses

  • Create black silhouettes from logos, icons and cut-out images
  • Make stencil-style artwork from transparent PNG files
  • Turn stickers and product cut-outs into single-colour shapes
  • Create simple silhouette graphics for documents, slides and web layouts
Important: A normal photo without transparency usually becomes a full rectangle silhouette. For best results, start with a transparent PNG or WebP.
