Frequently Asked Questions
Image compression reduces file size by removing redundant data. There are two types: lossy (JPEG) and lossless (PNG). Lossy compression discards imperceptible details, while lossless compression optimizes data storage without altering quality.
Lossy compression permanently removes some data for a significant size reduction — ideal for photographs. Lossless compression preserves all data and allows full recovery of the original — best for graphics, logos, and screenshots.
JPEG compression at 70-80% quality typically reduces file size by 50-80% without noticeable quality loss. Converting PNG to JPEG can save up to 90%. Results depend on the image content and chosen settings.
For photos, JPEG or WebP offer the best quality-to-size ratio. For graphics with transparency, use PNG or WebP. WebP is the most modern format, producing files 25-35% smaller than alternatives at comparable quality.
