What is an Image Compressor?
An Image Compressor creates a lighter copy of a picture by re-encoding it with a smaller file size. The goal is to keep the image useful while removing unnecessary weight.

How image compression works
The browser redraws the image and exports it as a JPEG with a selected quality level. Lower quality creates a smaller file, while higher quality preserves more visual detail.

• Adjust quality to balance sharpness and file size.
• Create JPEG output that is easier to upload or email.
• Process images locally without sending private files to a server.
Benefits of compressing images
