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?
PNGs are known for high quality and transparent backgrounds, but that often means larger file sizes. Compressing them can speed up load times, save storage space, and make sharing easier, all while preserving transparency. Adobe Express makes 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. The file you download doesn't have to match the one you started with.
Will compressing a PNG 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.
Can I get Adobe Express for free? If so, what’s included?
