Image Compression Guide

Everything you need to know to optimize your images like a pro

📚 What is Image Compression?

Image compression is the process of reducing file size by removing redundant data. When you take a photo, the file contains much more information than the human eye can perceive.

Compression algorithms identify and remove this "invisible" information, drastically reducing the file weight while maintaining a visually identical appearance.

💡 Key fact: A 5MB photo can be reduced to 500KB (90% less) without you noticing any difference.

🔬 Lossy vs. Lossless Compression

Lossy Compression: Permanently removes data that the human eye hardly perceives. Ideal for photos, allowing 60-90% reductions. JPEG and WebP use this method.

Lossless Compression: Compresses without eliminating any data. The decompressed image is bit-for-bit identical to the original. PNG and GIF use this method, with typical reductions of 10-30%.

🎯 Which to choose? For photos: Lossy JPEG/WebP at 85%. For logos/graphics with sharp edges: Lossless PNG.

⚡ The Sweet Spot: 85% Quality

After years of research and millions of processed images, we have determined that 85% JPEG quality is the optimal point for most photographs.

At this level:

  • Typical reduction: 60-70% of original size
  • Quality loss: Imperceptible to the human eye
  • Ideal for: Web, social media, email, storage

That's why our slider starts at 85% by default.

🌐 Optimization for Web

Images represent 50-70% of a webpage's total weight. Optimizing them correctly can:

  • Improve SEO: Google prioritizes fast pages
  • Reduce bounce rate: Users leave slow pages
  • Save bandwidth: Lower hosting costs
  • Improve mobile UX: Faster loading on slow connections

Everything you need to know about image compression

With JPEG compression at 85% quality, you can reduce photos between 60-80% without visible loss. This is the "sweet spot" where space savings are maximized and degradation is imperceptible to the human eye.
JPEG offers the best compression for photos (60-80% reduction). WebP is 25-35% more efficient than JPEG. PNG uses lossless compression, ideal for graphics but with lower reduction (10-30%).
At DuneTools, YES. All processing happens locally in your browser. Your images are NEVER uploaded to any server. It is 100% private and secure.
Lossy compression removes data the eye doesn't perceive, achieving greater reduction (JPEG, WebP). Lossless compression maintains 100% quality but with less reduction (PNG, GIF).
There is no limit. You can compress up to 100 images at once, as many times as you need. It is completely free and requires no registration.
