How to Compress Images Without Losing Quality

Large images slow websites, fill email inboxes, and hit upload limits. Compression reduces file size while keeping visual quality acceptable for most uses.

## Start with the right quality setting

For photos on the web, **75–85% JPEG quality** is often indistinguishable from 100% at normal viewing sizes. The Image Compressor lets you adjust quality with a slider and preview savings per file.

## Resize before compressing

If an image is 4000px wide but displays at 800px, resize first. Set a **max width** (e.g. 2048px or 1920px) to cut bytes dramatically without visible loss on screen.

## Batch workflow

1. Drop multiple images into the tool. 2. Set quality and max width once. 3. Download individually or as a ZIP for batch uploads.

## Privacy

Toolstik compresses images locally in a Web Worker — files are not uploaded to a server. This is ideal for client work, drafts, and sensitive screenshots.
