Frequently Asked Questions

What quality level should I use?

For most web images, 70-85% quality provides an excellent balance between file size and visual quality. For photos where quality is critical, use 85-95%. For thumbnails or backgrounds, 50-70% is often sufficient.

Will compression damage my original image?

No! Your original image file remains untouched. The compression creates a new, smaller file that you can download. You always keep your original high-quality version.

How much can I reduce file size?

Compression results vary by image type and content. Typically, you can reduce file size by 50-80% while maintaining good visual quality. Photos with solid colors compress better than highly detailed images.

Does this work for PNG images?

Yes! Our compressor works with JPG, PNG, and WebP formats. PNG compression is particularly effective for images with transparency or graphics with solid colors.
