Lossy compression can remove a small amount of detail. At moderate settings the difference is usually hard to
see, and you can compare the result with your original before using it.

There is no single rule, but many website photos work well under a few hundred kilobytes. Smaller is faster,
especially on mobile connections.

For photos, WebP and AVIF usually compress better than JPG. For graphics with flat colors, PNG or WebP often

Why Use FileNivo?

How to Compress an Image

1. Upload your image by clicking the upload area or dragging the file onto the page.
2. Choose the compression level if options are available.
3. Start the compression and compare the result with your original.
4. Download the smaller file.

Lossy vs Lossless Compression

Lossless compression shrinks a file without discarding any image data, so the picture is identical to the original.
Lossy compression removes details the eye is unlikely to notice, which makes files much smaller. Lossy suits
photos, while lossless suits logos, screenshots and graphics with text.

Tips to Get Smaller Images Without Obvious Quality Loss

  • Resize the image to the size you actually display. A 4000 pixel photo shown 800 pixels wide wastes bandwidth.
  • Use JPG or WebP for photos and PNG for graphics with transparency.
  • Try WebP or AVIF for websites; they are often much smaller than JPG and PNG.
  • Compare before and after at 100% zoom, since small differences are easier to spot there.
  • Keep your original file in case you need to compress it again from scratch.
