📦 What is Image Compressor?
Image compression reduces file size while minimizing visible quality loss. Methods include lossy (JPEG) and lossless (PNG) compression, with modern WebP offering both benefits. Essential for improving website loading speeds, saving cloud storage, and meeting email/messenger size limits. Supports batch compression for processing multiple images at once.
📋 Image Format Comparison
| Format | Features | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| JPEG | Lossy, high compression | Photos, complex images |
| PNG | Lossless, transparency | Logos, icons, screenshots |
| WebP | Efficient, transparency/anim | Web optimization (recommended) |

Frequently Asked Questions
Does compression modify my original image?▼
No, your original file remains unchanged. A new compressed file is downloaded separately, and all processing happens in your browser without server uploads.
Should I choose JPEG or WebP?▼
WebP provides 25-35% smaller files than JPEG at the same quality. Recommended for web use as modern browsers support it. Choose JPEG if compatibility with older software is needed.
Why is there a max resolution setting?▼
High-resolution images (4000px+) are unnecessarily large for web use. Limiting to 1920px (Full HD) significantly reduces file size with no visible quality difference.
