How much can you compress an image without noticing?
Typical savings ranges, when quality dips, and how to use a live preview instead of guessing.
Most photos can lose 40–80% of their file size at settings that still look sharp on phones and laptops. Flat graphics and already-optimized WebP files may shrink less.
Artifacts show up first in gradients, skin tones, and fine text. If you see banding or mushy edges, bump quality or switch formats instead of pushing the slider to the floor.
Use the compressor’s live preview and size stats: download when savings look good and the preview still matches your bar for quality.
For e-commerce, keep a high-quality master and publish a compressed web version. That way you can re-export later without starting from a muddy file.
