About Image Compression
Image compression reduces file sizes by removing redundant or less important visual information. This process is essential for web optimization, faster loading times, and efficient storage management. Our tool uses advanced algorithms to achieve the best balance between file size reduction and image quality.
Compression Types
Lossy Compression
Reduces file size by removing some image data. Best for photographs and complex images.
- • JPEG format
- • WebP (lossy mode)
- • Significant size reduction
- • Quality adjustable
Lossless Compression
Reduces file size without losing any image data. Best for graphics and images with transparency.
- • PNG format
- • WebP (lossless mode)
- • Preserves all detail
- • Supports transparency
When to Use Image Compression
- Web Optimization: Faster page loading and better user experience
- Storage Savings: Reduce server storage costs and bandwidth usage
- Email Attachments: Stay within size limits while sharing images
- Mobile Apps: Reduce app size and improve performance
- Social Media: Meet platform requirements and upload faster
Quality vs. File Size Guidelines
| Quality Level | Use Case | File Size |

| 95-100% | Professional printing, archival | Large |
| 85-95% | High-quality web images | Medium-Large |
| 75-85% | Standard web images | Medium |
| 60-75% | Thumbnails, previews | Small-Medium |
| 40-60% | Maximum compression needed | Small |
