Things to know before you use it

Higher compression generally means lower image quality. Results depend on the original image format and content.

Compression is a quality trade-off

Compression can reduce bytes without changing width and height, but aggressive settings discard detail in lossy formats. Fine text, logos and screenshots reveal compression artifacts sooner than many photographs.

If an image is dramatically larger in dimensions than necessary, resize first and then compress. That usually produces a better result than extreme compression at the original resolution.

Before you rely on the result

Inspect text and edges at normal viewing size.
Resize oversized originals first.
Choose a format suited to the image.

Privacy

Image compression is performed in your browser.
