How to Compress JPG, PNG & WebP Images
Large image files slow down websites and take up unnecessary storage. Learn how to optimize JPG, PNG, and WebP images by 70–80% without visible loss in sharpness.
To compress images without losing quality, use WebP or lossy JPEG compression set between 80% and 90%. Use our Image Compressor to batch process images locally in your browser.
Lossy vs. Lossless Compression Explained
Lossy compression (used in JPG and WebP) removes microscopic visual details that the human eye cannot perceive. It yields file size savings of 60% to 85%.
Lossless compression (used in PNG) strips metadata and optimizes color tables without altering pixel data, keeping image quality 100% identical.
