Learn how image compression works

What is image compression?

Image compression is the process of reducing the file size of an image while trying to maintain as much of the original quality as possible. This is achieved by removing redundant data and applying smart algorithms.

Benefits of image compression

  • Faster website loading times
  • Less storage space used
  • Lower bandwidth consumption
  • Improved user experience
  • Better SEO rankings (page speed is a ranking factor)

Compression Settings

The compression slider controls the quality level. Lower quality means smaller file size but may introduce artifacts. For most web images, a quality setting of 70-80% offers a good balance between size and visual quality.
