Image Compressor

Good times to use it

Use Image Compressor for reducing images for faster pages, email attachments, product listings, CMS uploads, and social assets. It works well when you want smaller image files with selected quality and format settings and do not need a bigger workflow around it.

• Best fit: reducing images for faster pages, email attachments, product listings, CMS uploads, and social assets.
• You start with one or more images that are already cropped and sized appropriately.
• The useful choices are format, quality, metadata stripping, and whether to process one file or a batch.
• Check visual artifacts, file size savings, transparency, dimensions, and whether small text remains legible.
• You end up with smaller image files with selected quality and format settings.

Use Image Compressor like this

1. Start with one or more images that are already cropped and sized appropriately.
2. Choose format, quality, metadata stripping, and whether to process one file or a batch.
3. Run the tool once, then review visual artifacts, file size savings, transparency, dimensions, and whether small text remains legible.
4. Copy, export, or download smaller image files with selected quality and format settings.
5. Open the export at the size people will actually see before you publish it.

Easy ways to ruin the result

• Lossy formats reduce size by discarding detail; repeated compression can compound artifacts.
• Canvas re-encoding often strips metadata, which can reduce size but may remove camera or color profile details.
• Resize large images before compression for the biggest performance improvement.
• Compare the compressed output at the display size users will actually see.

What changes the output

• Images are decoded and redrawn through browser canvas.
• Output format and quality are applied locally.
• Metadata is not preserved in the generated canvas output.
