Quality after Photo Compression. Different Options

In our photo compressor you have to pick the level of image compression. You need to understand the difference between the options since this will affect the quality of your compressed images. There are three options: Best Quality, Smaller Size or Specific File Size. You can compress photos by 85 to 99% depending on whether you need to maintain good image quality or drastically decrease the file size.

Let’s take a look at what options for photo compressing our app offers:

• Best Quality: If you need to compress photos without sacrificing image quality all that much, this is the option to go for. However, please note that depending on the file format of your images, there still might be some loss of quality. With this option, the level of compression is low. Thus, image quality is preserved as much as possible. If you compare the compressed image with the original one, you won’t see much of a difference. Compared to the other two options, this one produces compressed images that have excellent image quality but a bigger file size.
• Smaller Size: This option is kind of the opposite of the previous one. Here, the level of compression is high. Thus, you will get images of a smaller file size. Our app will do its best to maintain the image quality at a decent level. However, if you need a small file size, there’s no other way but to sacrifice some image quality. Naturally, this option is ideal for those who need to compress photos to dramatically reduce their file size.
• Specific File Size: With the previous two options, the only way to know what file size your images will have is wait until the app is done compressing them. But here, you will have more flexibility and control over this aspect. If you go for this option, you will need to enter a specific number of kBs or MBs. Then, our photo compressor will compress your images so that they have the file size that you need. This option gives you not only flexibility but also some room for experimentation – you can compress one and the same batch of images using different files sizes. The file size is interconnected with image quality. The smaller the file size, the lower the quality. Thus, you can try out different file sizes and see which one will give you the desired result.

Since our photo compressor automatically creates copies and works only with them, you won’t have to worry about your original files. Even if something goes wrong during the compression process – which is highly unlikely! – or if you aren’t satisfied with the final result, you will easily be able to re-upload your originals and compress them in a different way.

FAQs

How to compress a photo in JPG format?

JPEG is not just one of the most popular and wide-spread formats on the web, it’s also one of the easiest to compress. You can do this with pretty much any image editing app, including ours. With our photo compressor, you will be able to compress your images quickly and effortlessly – just upload your photos, choose one of the three options for compression and click the “Compress Images” button.

How many photos can I send via email?

This depends on the file size of your photos. All mail services have an attachment size limit. For example, if you’re using Gmail, your attachments shouldn’t exceed 25 MBs collectively. A single high-quality JPEG photo can be around 10 or 15 MBs. Thus, if you don’t compress photos, you will be able to send only 1 or 2 of them. But there’s a high chance that the images that you need to send don’t need to have the best quality possible. So, you can easily reduce the file size of your images to a couple of hundred kilobytes by compressing them. After you compress photos, you will be able to attach dozens of them to a single letter.
