Does compressing an image reduce its quality?

Lossy compression (used for JPEG) does reduce quality slightly, but at 70-85% quality settings the difference is invisible to the human eye while reducing file sizes by 60-80%. PNG uses lossless compression — no quality loss.

What is the maximum image size I can compress?

The tool handles images up to 20MB per file. Files larger than 20MB may cause browser memory issues. For very large images, we recommend reducing the dimensions first using our Image Resizer.

Will the compressed image have a watermark?

No. We never add watermarks to your compressed images. The output is clean and ready to use.

Which format gives the best compression: JPEG or WebP?

WebP typically achieves 25-34% smaller file sizes than JPEG at equivalent quality. If your target browsers support WebP (all modern browsers do), use WebP for the best compression.

What quality setting should I use?

For web use: 70-80% quality is the sweet spot — significantly smaller files with no visible quality loss. For print or professional use, use 85-95%.
