Here is how you should compress images for site optimization
– After cropping and scaling down an image, you are left with a file that needs compression to reduce it size from MB to KB.
– Lossy compression of JPG files is achieved by data elimination and hence it is irreversible.
– You will need to balance quality with compression level or final file size.
– You will need to keep the original photographs someplace easily accessible for future.
– Compression tasks can be combined with scaling, automated, and processed as a batch (use Converseen).
– Large JPG files, when optimized properly, can go down to about 200-300 KB.
