Image compression is essential for faster websites and smaller file sizes. Here's how to do it effectively. ## Understanding Compression Types ### Lossy Compression (JPG, WebP) Reduces file size by permanently discarding some image data. The quality slider controls how much data is removed. At 80–90% quality, the difference is nearly invisible. ### Lossless Compression (PNG) Reduces file size without losing any data by finding more efficient ways to encode the same information. ## Recommended Settings - **Photos**: JPG or WebP at 80% quality — typically 60–80% smaller than original - **Graphics/logos**: PNG with lossless compression - **Web images**: WebP for the best size/quality ratio ## The Compression Tool 1. Upload your image (or drag and drop) 2. Adjust the quality slider 3. Preview the before/after comparison 4. Download when satisfied ## Bulk Compression Upload multiple images to compress them all with the same settings. ## Tips - Start at 80% quality and lower if needed - Compare the before/after at 100% zoom to spot quality issues - WebP consistently outperforms JPG for web use - Always keep an original backup before compressing
