When to use Ultra compression
Ultra uses dedicated local encoders: AVIF, MozJPEG and high-effort WebP. It spends more time searching for efficient encodings and can reduce file size further, without changing dimensions. It is not AI and does not guarantee a smaller result at equal visual quality. Up to 12 megapixels; PNG remains in Fast mode. AVIF output supports transparency, but check your destination: it cannot yet be opened as an input in Luma.
