Why Compress Images?
Large images slow down websites, exceed email attachment limits, and eat storage. Compression reduces file size while maintaining acceptable visual quality.
Step-by-Step Guide
Compression vs Quality

|---|---|---|
| Light | 20-40% | Nearly invisible |
| Medium | 40-60% | Slight softening |
| Strong | 60-80% | Noticeable on zoom |
FAQ
Which format compresses best?
JPG compresses photographs best. PNG is better for graphics with sharp edges and text. WebP offers the best of both worlds.
