Frequently asked questions
How much can I reduce an image's file size?▼
Typical reductions range from 40-80% depending on the image content and quality setting. Photos with lots of detail compress more than simple graphics. You control the quality slider to balance size vs. appearance.
Does compression reduce image dimensions?▼
No. Compression reduces file size by adjusting encoding quality, not by shrinking the image dimensions. The pixel width and height remain unchanged unless you also choose to resize.
Is the compression lossy or lossless?▼
JPEG compression is lossy — some quality is permanently reduced to save space. PNG compression is lossless. The tool defaults to the format that matches your input file.
