How does image compression work?

Image compression reduces file size by removing redundant data and applying encoding algorithms. The tool lets you balance between file size and visual quality so your images load faster on the web.

Will compression make my images look bad?

At recommended settings, compression is nearly imperceptible. You can adjust the quality slider to find the perfect balance between file size and visual quality for your needs.

What formats can I compress?

The tool supports JPEG, PNG, and WebP formats. Each format uses different compression techniques optimized for the type of image content.

How much can I reduce the file size?

Typical compression reduces file size by 50-80% without noticeable quality loss. Results vary depending on the image content and chosen quality level.

Is my image data secure?

Yes. All compression happens in your browser. Your images are never uploaded to any server, keeping them completely private and secure.
