📋Step-by-Step User Guide

Step 1: Select Image File

Upload images in two ways: 1) Drag and drop image files directly into the upload area; 2) Click "Select File" button to browse and choose images. Supported formats include JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP, with maximum file size of 20MB.

Step 2: Adjust Compression Quality

Use the quality slider to adjust compression level: 1-30% for high compression (suitable for web thumbnails); 31-70% for balanced mode (suitable for general web use); 71-100% for high quality (suitable for printing or important displays). Choose the appropriate quality level based on your specific needs.

Step 3: Execute Compression and Preview

Click "Start Compression" button and the system will automatically process your image. After compression, you can view the before and after comparison in the preview area, including file size changes and compression ratio, helping you evaluate if the compression meets your requirements.

Step 4: Download Compressed Image

Once satisfied with the compression results, click "Download Compressed Image" to save locally. The system automatically adds "compressed_" prefix to filenames and converts to JPG format for optimal compatibility.

🔬Compression Technology Explained

JPEG Compression Algorithm

Our tool uses JPEG compression standards, employing Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) to convert images from spatial domain to frequency domain, then applying quantization based on human visual characteristics to effectively remove visual redundancy.

Quality Parameter Control

Quality parameters directly affect quantization table scaling factors. Lower quality settings use coarser quantization, producing smaller files but possible compression artifacts; higher quality settings preserve more details with relatively larger files but better visual quality.

Color Space Optimization

The tool automatically converts images to YUV color space, leveraging human eye's higher sensitivity to luminance than chrominance information, applying greater compression to chroma components while maintaining visual quality and significantly reducing file size.

🎯Optimal Use Case Recommendations

Batch Processing Needs

Quality settings can be adjusted based on specific use cases for processing large volumes of images

❓Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q:Does compression reduce image quality?

A: JPEG compression is lossy, but with reasonable quality settings (60% and above), quality loss is virtually imperceptible to the human eye. Our tool provides real-time preview functionality so you can compare before and after results and choose a satisfactory quality level.

Q:Why are compressed images converted to JPG format?

A: JPG format offers the best compression efficiency and widespread compatibility, suitable for most application scenarios. If you need to maintain PNG transparency features, consider using specialized PNG compression tools.

Q:How is image compression security ensured?

A: Our tool is completely browser-based, with all image processing done locally on your device without uploading to any servers. Your image data remains entirely on your device, ensuring privacy security.

Q:Does this support batch compression of multiple images?

A: The current version supports single image compression, ensuring precise control over each image's compression results. For batch processing needs, you can repeatedly use the tool for multiple images.

Q:When is image compression not recommended?

A: For scenarios requiring extremely high image quality such as professional printing, medical imaging, or design originals, keeping original images is recommended. Additionally, re-compressing already highly compressed images may cause noticeable quality degradation.
