Best Practices for Image Compression

- Batch Processing: Compress multiple images at once to save time

Understanding Image Formats
JPG: Best for photographs and images with many colors. Lossy compression means some quality is lost, but file sizes are much smaller.
PNG: Best for graphics, logos, and images requiring transparency. Lossless compression maintains quality but results in larger files.
WebP: Modern format offering superior compression. Supports both lossy and lossless compression with smaller file sizes than JPG and PNG.
Tips for Maximum Compression
- Remove unnecessary metadata before compression
- Resize images to actual display dimensions before compressing
- Use progressive JPG for large images
- Consider converting PNG to JPG if transparency isn't needed
- Test different quality levels to find the optimal balance
