💡 Tips for compress
- ✓ For photographs, JPG at 80% quality is visually identical to 100% but 60–70% smaller in file size.
- ✓ WEBP gives the best compression ratio of any format. At the same visual quality, WEBP files are 25–35% smaller than JPG and 50% smaller than PNG.
- ✓ PNG files cannot be made significantly smaller through quality settings — PNG is lossless. To compress a PNG aggressively, convert it to WEBP or JPG instead.
- ✓ Images over 200 KB slow down web pages noticeably on mobile. Google's Core Web Vitals directly penalize pages with large uncompressed images.
- ✓ Do not compress an already-compressed JPG multiple times. Each pass adds more visible artifacts. Always compress from the original high-quality source.
