    How Image Compression Works

    This compressor uses your browser's native Canvas API to re-encode images at a lower quality level. Unlike server-based tools, nothing is uploaded — your image stays on your device throughout the entire process.

    JPEG vs WebP: JPEG is the classic format supported everywhere. WebP is a modern format by Google that achieves 25–35% better compression at the same visual quality. Most modern browsers and apps support WebP, making it ideal for web use.

    Quality Sweet Spot: For most photos, a quality setting between 70–80% provides an excellent balance. You'll see 60–80% file size reduction with virtually no visible quality loss. Go lower for thumbnails, higher for portfolio work.
