JPG vs PNG
JPG is usually best for photos and scenes with gradients and lots of colors. PNG is usually best for logos, icons, UI elements, and graphics where crisp edges matter.
Tips for cleaner results
- If a file is already small, compression may not save much more
- Keep an original copy if you plan to edit the image later
- For very large photos, consider resizing first, then compressing
- For logos, keep PNG if you need transparency
Common questions
Will this change my image dimensions
No. The goal is to reduce file size while keeping the same width and height.
Will compression reduce quality
Most images look the same in normal viewing. If you zoom in heavily, you may notice minor changes on some JPG files.
Can I compress more than one image
This tool is focused on one file at a time for simplicity. You can run it repeatedly for multiple files.
