Which output format should I choose for image compression?

Use WebP for most web uploads (best compression + quality ratio), JPEG for photos needing broad compatibility, and PNG when transparency or lossless edges matter. WebP typically achieves 25-35% smaller files than JPEG at same quality.

What's the quality slider range and what does it affect?

Quality 80-90 is usually optimal for web use (good balance of size and visual fidelity). Quality below 60 may show visible artifacts. Quality above 95 produces files nearly identical to original with minimal compression.

Why did my image size increase after compression?

Already-compressed images (JPEG at low quality, heavily optimized PNG) may slightly increase. Small images (<10KB) have overhead that outweighs compression gains. Try a different format (WebP) or resize the image first.

Can I compress multiple images at once?

Process one image per run with the same settings. For several files, run the tool again for each image and download results individually.

Which tools pair well with Image Compress?
