Image Compression
In terms of digital files, compression is the act of encoding information using fewer bits than what’s found in the original file. Simply put, it means converting a large file into a smaller file.
There are two types of compression: lossless and lossy. Lossless compression is when the compression tool removes empty, needless, or duplicated bits from the original file. This results in a smaller file that has the exact same quality as the original. Lossy compression is when the compressor removes excessive or unimportant bits from the original file. This results in a smaller file but with a reduced quality. With lossy compression, how small you want the final file to be will depend on how much loss of quality you’re comfortable with.
Why would you want to compress images?
Depending on the source of an image, the file could be quite large. A JPG from a professional DSLR camera, for example, could be dozens of megabytes. Depending on your needs, this could be too big. Compressing this image would be very useful.
Likewise, you might have large images on your phone. These images could be taking up a lot of hard drive space and preventing you from taking more photos. Compressing them could free up more internal storage, fixing this problem.
How does the image compressor work?
After opening the image compression tool, just follow these simple steps:
Click “Choose Image”
A file selection window will open.
Browse and select the image you want to compress from your device.
Click Open to upload the image.
Set the Compression Quality
Once the image is uploaded, you’ll see a slider labeled “Compression Quality.”
Move the slider left or right to choose your desired quality level (e.g., 70% for balanced quality and size).
The current percentage will be shown below the slider.
Click “COMPRESS IMAGE”
After selecting the quality, press the “COMPRESS IMAGE” button.
The tool will now compress your image based on the quality you chose.
Download the Compressed Image
Once the process is complete, a download link or button will appear.
Click it to download and save your compressed image to your device.
