Is lossy or lossless compression better?

JPEG compression is always lossy (some quality is lost). PNG can be compressed losslessly (same quality, smaller file). For photos, lossy JPEG at 80% quality is usually indistinguishable from the original at half the file size.

What quality setting should I use?

For web images, a quality setting of 75–85 is the sweet spot — visually identical to the original but 40–70% smaller. For hero images or photography, use 85+. For thumbnails, 60–70 is fine.

Can I compress multiple images at once?

Yes. Drag and drop multiple images at once. Each is compressed independently with your chosen settings, and you can download all compressed images as a single ZIP file.

What is Image Compressor?

Large images are the most common cause of slow web pages. DailyDevTools' Image Compressor reduces the file size of PNG, JPEG, and WebP images directly in your browser using advanced compression algorithms — no files are ever uploaded to a server. Reducing image sizes by 50–80% dramatically improves page load time, Google PageSpeed scores, and Core Web Vitals.
