💡Pro tips

Quality 75-80 is the sweet spot

For most images, quality 75-80 provides excellent visual quality while achieving maximum compression. Most people can't detect quality loss at this level.

Use WebP for best compression

Converting to WebP during compression yields the smallest files (25-35% smaller than JPEG). Use this for web projects.

Preview before downloading

Always check the preview to ensure the quality meets your needs before downloading compressed images.

⚙️How Image Compression Works

The Image Compressor uses multiple techniques including color space optimization, chroma subsampling, and advanced encoding. It analyzes your image to remove unnecessary data while keeping visual details intact. Different algorithms work better for different image types – photographs compress well with lossy compression, while graphics may need lossless compression for best results.

⚖️Finding the Right Balance

Higher quality settings preserve more detail but result in larger files. Lower quality settings create smaller files but may lose some detail. The key is finding your sweet spot – usually 70-80 quality for photographs, and 85-95 for images with text or graphics. Use the live preview to find what works for your specific images.

🎯Perfect For

Website optimization (faster page loads), email attachments (reduce file sizes for sending), social media uploads (some platforms limit file sizes), cloud storage backup (save quota), ecommerce product images (faster catalog loading), digital archives (preserve storage space), and mobile apps (reduce download size).
