Understanding Image Compression

Lossy Compression: Our tool uses lossy compression, which reduces file size by removing non-essential data. This can reduce file sizes by 50–90% while maintaining excellent visual quality. The compression intelligently removes details that are imperceptible to the human eye.

When to Use: Web images, email attachments, social media uploads, blog posts, portfolio websites, online stores—anywhere load speed and bandwidth matter.

Quality vs Size: Higher quality settings (80–100%) preserve more detail but result in larger files. Lower settings (30–60%) create smaller files but may introduce visible artifacts. We recommend 70–85% for most use cases.
