It is an online image optimizer that uses a smart combination of the best optimization and lossy compression algorithms to shrink JPEG, GIF and PNG images to the smallest possible size while maintaining the required quality level.
Upload up to 20 images and wait for the compression to finish. Click thumbnails to adjust quality. Use the slider to control the compression level to compare images.
There are two types of compression: lossless and lossless. Lossless compression is when the compression tool removes blank, useless or duplicate bits from the original file. This results in a smaller file that has exactly the same quality as the original.
Lossy compression is when the compressor removes excessive or insignificant bits from the original file. This results in a smaller file but with reduced quality. With lossy compression, how small you want the final file to be will depend on how much quality loss you're comfortable with.
Why do you need to compress images? Depending on the source of an image, the file can be quite large. A JPG from a professional DSLR camera, for example, could be tens of megabytes.
Likewise, you may have large images on your phone. These images can take up a lot of hard drive space and prevent you from taking more photos.
Compressing them could free up more internal storage, solving this problem.
It supports three file types: PNG, JPG/JPEG and GIF. The system intelligently analyzes images and reduces them to the smallest possible file size without negatively affecting the overall quality.
To get started, you'll need to upload some images you want to compress. You can upload up to 20 images at once and you can mix and match file types.
In other words, you don't have to upload just JPG and expect to upload PNG. The server can automatically parse the files for you. First, hit the "Upload Files" button and navigate to your images.
After uploading, you will see thumbnails for all your images and you can see their progress in real time as the server analyzes them. As mentioned, the server will determine the ideal compression rate to reduce the file size without reducing the quality too much.
However, if you want more or less compression, you can control it. Tap the thumbnail of the image you want to modify. Now, move the quality slider up or down until you've set the file size/quality you think is right.
When you're done, hit the "APPLY" button and proceed to repeat these steps with the next image.
Your original files will remain untouched on your system, so if you're not happy with your compressed files, you can simply try again. Also, for security reasons the app clears all data after one hour, so you don't have to worry about your data security.
