How can I compress images for the web without losing visible quality?
Start with the right format: photographs usually compress best as JPG or WebP; graphics with flat colour suit PNG. Upload the image, set quality around 75β85%, and compare before/after at 100% zoom. A good compressor removes invisible metadata and applies smart chroma subsampling so file size drops 50β70% while looking identical on a phone screen. For hero images, also resize to the display width you actually need β shrinking dimensions saves more bytes than aggressive quality cuts. Browser-based compression keeps photos on-device, which helps GDPR-sensitive sites and client galleries. After export, run Lighthouse or PageSpeed Insights on the page to confirm LCP improvements. EasyPDFHubβs image compressor is free and runs locally in your browser.
