Frequently asked questions.
What is an image compressor?
An image compressor is a feature that reduces the file size of an image while trying to keep its visual appearance as close to the original as possible. This is done by removing unnecessary data or optimizing how the image is stored, which makes the file smaller and faster to load or share.
When should I use an image compressor?
There are numerous scenarios in which you could use an image compressor. For example, if you’re looking to speed up a website, save storage space, or make images easier to upload, download, or send—especially when dealing with large or high-resolution files. Avoid heavy compression if you’re working with images that need perfect quality (such as professional printing, detailed design work, or creating online ads). The Adobe Express image compressor makes it easy to strike that balance between size optimization and image quality.
What files are supported by the image compressor?
JPEG, JPG and PNG, images can be compressed in the image compressor. You can choose which file output you prefer. It doesn’t have to be the same as the file type you imported.
Will compressing an image reduce its quality?
Compression may reduce quality slightly, especially at higher compression levels. However, the slider lets you adjust the compression to find a good balance between file size and visual quality.
