Plan a image compression tools workflow

Lossless compression preserves decoded pixel values but cannot promise an arbitrary byte target. Lossy compression discards information. Reducing dimensions is a separate change that can further reduce file size.

Decisions before you begin

  • Quality or lossless encoding
  • Target file size
  • Dimensions and palette size

Prepare the task

  1. Record the source dimensions and file size and identify the required upload limit.
  2. Compare a modest quality change before reducing dimensions or colors.
  3. Check actual output bytes and inspect text, gradients and transparent edges.
