About Image Compressor

Image Compressor shrinks JPG and PNG files so websites load faster, email attachments fit limits, and mobile galleries sync without burning data caps. Bloggers tune hero images; e-commerce sellers meet marketplace megabyte caps; students submit homework portals that reject bloated camera photos. You pick a compression level to balance quality versus size without opening a heavyweight desktop editor.

JPEG compression is inherently lossy—each aggressive pass can introduce banding in skies and softness around text—so keep originals when future redesigns need maximum fidelity. PNG compression may be lossless or lossy depending on the pipeline; transparent UI assets deserve careful previewing on checkered backgrounds.

Pair with Image Resizer when dimensions, not just bytes, cause problems. After compression, JPG to PDF or Image to PDF bundles images for single-file submissions.

Do not compress the only copy of an archival photo you can never reshoot—duplicate first. Medical imaging and evidence photos may have chain-of-custody rules forbidding online processing; follow organizational guidance. For public marketing images, compression is usually low risk and high reward for Core Web Vitals and user experience.
