What Is Image Compression?

Image compression reduces the file size of images by removing redundant data or reorganizing pixel information more efficiently. This results in faster page loads, lower bandwidth usage, and better Core Web Vitals scores. There are two main types: lossy compression (removes some data for larger savings) and lossless compression (reduces size without any quality loss).

When to Use Each Compression Tool

  • Image Compressor: Best for general web optimization. Adjust quality slider for balance between size and clarity.
  • Target Size: When you have a specific file size limit (email attachments, CMS upload caps).
  • Lossless: When quality is non-negotiable — logos, graphics, screenshots, legal documents.
  • Progressive JPEG: For web pages where perceived loading speed matters.
  • Quantize: For PNG graphics and illustrations where reducing colors saves 50-80%.
