Who are Dran products made for?
General

Dran products are designed for individuals, developers, freelancers, agencies, and businesses who want simple tools for everyday work.

Each product may have a more specific audience depending on the problem it is designed to solve.

Why did my image only become slightly smaller?
Tools

Some images may already be well optimized. In those cases, additional compression may only reduce the file size slightly without noticeably affecting image quality.

Why does my SVG look different from the original?
Tools

Vectorization recreates a raster image using paths, shapes and gradients, so some small details, soft shadows or textures may change. Use the Compare view and adjust the trace settings before downloading.

Why is PNG compression different from JPG or WebP?
Tools

PNG uses lossless compression and does not use the same quality setting as JPG or WebP. Dran applies PNG-specific optimization instead, so the amount saved can vary significantly between images.

Why is the converted file sometimes larger than the original?
Tools

Different image formats use different compression methods. Depending on the image content, dimensions, output format, and quality setting, the converted file may be larger or smaller than the original.

Will converting an image reduce its quality?
Tools

It depends on the output format and quality setting. JPG and WebP use lossy compression, so lower quality settings may reduce image detail. PNG is lossless.

Will Dran Admin Cleaner affect the frontend of my website?
Products

Dran Admin Cleaner is designed specifically for the WordPress admin area.

Its configuration should not change the public-facing design or content of your website.

Will metadata be preserved?
Tools

Image metadata such as EXIF information may not be preserved during conversion because the image is re-encoded in your browser.
