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?
An image compressor is useful whenever you need faster website load times, more storage space, or easier uploading, downloading, and sharing capabilities. Adobe Express can make it simple to find the right balance between file size and image quality.
What files are supported by the image compressor?
You can compress JPEG, JPG, and PNG files and choose which file output you prefer.
Will compressing an image reduce its quality?
Compression may reduce quality, especially at higher compression levels. Use the slider to adjust the compression and find a good balance between file size and visual quality.
