Why image size matters
Large images slow down websites, fill up storage and make emails harder to send. Compressing an image reduces its file size while keeping it visually sharp enough for its intended use.
Finding the right quality setting
For most photos, a quality setting between 65-80% keeps the image looking crisp while cutting file size significantly. Screenshots and graphics with flat colors compress even better and can often go lower without visible loss.
