Compress Images for Faster Web Pages
When this applies
Use this workflow when page speed is the goal. Start from visual quality targets, then compress and verify final file size before publishing.
Tool to use
Reduce image file size while keeping quality.
Open Compress Image →Steps
- 1Upload the image and set an initial quality around 80%.
- 2Switch output format to WebP for most web scenarios.
- 3Compare original vs output and reduce quality gradually until artifacts appear.
- 4Keep final files under your size budget (for many pages: 100-300 KB range).
- 5Publish and re-test page speed after replacement.
Examples
- Hero banner: 2.8 MB JPG -> 320 KB WebP while keeping visual quality.
- Blog thumbnail: 680 KB PNG -> 140 KB WebP for faster LCP on listing pages.
What to avoid
- Compressing once at very low quality and introducing visible artifacts.
- Using PNG for photographic assets where WebP/JPG is better.
- Skipping final page-speed validation after export.

Should I always use WebP?
For most web pages, yes. Keep JPG/PNG only when specific compatibility or transparency constraints require it.
Does compression change dimensions?
No. Compression reduces file weight. Use resize separately for pixel dimensions.
