How Image Compression Works
This tool uses smart compression algorithms to reduce image file size by removing redundant data, reducing color depth, and applying efficient encoding. It aims to maintain visual quality while minimizing file size.
When to Compress Images
- Before uploading to websites (improves page load speed and SEO)
- Sending images via email or messaging apps
- Reducing storage on your device
- Meeting file size limits on forms and applications
Frequently Asked Questions
Does compression affect image quality?
Our tool uses lossy compression for JPG and lossless for PNG. For JPG images, there is a minor quality reduction that is typically not visible to the human eye at normal viewing sizes.
What formats are supported?
