How to Compress Images Without Losing Too Much Quality
Understand image compression, compare formats, and find settings that balance clarity and smaller files.
Step-by-step instructions
1. Choose the right format
JPEG is often practical for photographs, PNG for graphics needing transparency, and WebP for many web images.
2. Start with a moderate setting
Avoid maximum compression immediately. Try a moderate quality level and compare the result with the original at its intended display size.
3. Check dimensions and details
Inspect fine text, edges, gradients, and transparency. Keep an original copy so you can export again if needed.

Does compression always reduce image quality?
Lossy compression removes some information, while lossless methods preserve pixel data. Results depend on the format and settings.
Should I resize or compress first?
If the image is much larger than needed, resizing before compression can reduce the final file substantially.
