Image Compression

In digital files, compression is the process of encoding information using fewer bits than the original file. Simply put, it means converting a large file into a smaller one.

There are two types of compression: lossless and lossy.

• Lossless compression: Removes unnecessary, empty, or duplicated bits without affecting the original quality. The result is a smaller file with the exact same quality as the original.
• Lossy compression: Removes excessive or less important bits, reducing the file size at the cost of some quality loss. The level of compression determines how much quality is sacrificed—more compression means a smaller file but lower quality.

Why Compress Images?

Depending on the source, an image file can be quite large. For example, a JPG from a DSLR camera can be dozens of megabytes, making it too large for easy sharing or storage. Compressing the image reduces its size, making it more manageable.

Similarly, large images on your phone take up significant storage space. Compressing them helps free up storage, allowing you to take more photos.

How Does the Image Compressor Work?

Our tool uses lossy compression to reduce image file sizes while maintaining visual quality. It supports PNG, JPG/JPEG, and GIF file formats. The system intelligently analyzes uploaded images and shrinks them to the smallest possible file size without noticeable quality loss.

Steps to Use the Tool:

1. Select your image by clicking the Choose File button, then click Compress to start the process.
2. The images will be analyzed and compressed automatically. You'll see thumbnails.
3. The system selects the optimal compression rate, but you can manually adjust it:
   • Use the Quality Level Slider to increase or decrease compression.
   • Click "Compress" when satisfied.
4. Once finished, press the "Download" button.
