How to Compress Images Without Losing Quality
Image compression reduces file size for faster loading and easier sharing. The key is finding the right balance.
Quality Settings
JPEG quality 80–90 usually gives a good balance—visible savings with minimal quality loss. Quality 70 is acceptable for thumbnails. Below 60, artifacts become noticeable.
Target Size
If you have a specific file size limit (e.g., 100KB for email), use target-size compression. The tool adjusts quality automatically. Start high and reduce if needed.
Format Choice
For photos, JPEG or WEBP. For graphics with flat colors, PNG may compress well. WEBP often beats both at similar quality.
