How Image Compression Works
Our tool uses advanced compression algorithms to reduce image file sizes while preserving visual quality. For JPG images, we use lossy compression that removes imperceptible details. For PNG images, we optimize color palettes and remove metadata. All processing happens in your browser using HTML5 Canvas API - no server uploads required, ensuring your images remain private.
Best Practices for Image Compression
- Start with high-quality source images for best compression results
- Use 80-85% quality for web images - perfect balance of quality and size
- Compress images before uploading to websites or social media
- Choose JPG for photos, PNG for graphics with transparency
- Resize images to actual display dimensions before compressing
- Test different quality levels to find optimal compression
- Keep original files backed up before compression
- Use WebP format for modern browsers (best compression)

Frequently Asked Questions
Does compression reduce image quality?
Yes, but at 80-90% quality, the difference is imperceptible to human eyes. Our tool lets you adjust quality to find the perfect balance between file size and visual quality.
Are my images uploaded to your server?
No! All compression happens in your browser using JavaScript. Your images never leave your device, ensuring complete privacy and security.
What's the maximum file size I can compress?
Since processing happens in your browser, there's no strict limit. However, very large images (>50MB) may slow down your browser. For best performance, use images under 20MB.
Can I compress multiple images at once?
Currently, our tool processes one image at a time for optimal quality control. You can compress multiple images by repeating the process for each file.
Which format should I use - JPG or PNG?
Use JPG for photographs and images with many colors. Use PNG for graphics, logos, screenshots, and images requiring transparency. WebP offers best compression for both types.
