Start with the right goal

Good compression is not only about the smallest possible file. Product photos, profile images, and portfolio images need enough detail to stay credible. For most web use, start with medium quality and only move lower when the page or upload form needs a smaller file.

Vexifya's Image Compressor runs in the browser for common image files, so you can test compression settings without sending files through an unnecessary upload workflow.

Use dimensions before extreme compression

A huge image will stay heavy even when compressed. Resize oversized images first when the display area is small, then compress the resized file. This usually keeps the result cleaner than forcing very low quality on a full-resolution image.

Pick a practical quality level

Use high quality for hero images and product photos, medium quality for blog and support images, and lower quality for quick previews or temporary uploads. Compare the output before replacing important originals.

Will compression always change image quality?

Some compression can change image detail, especially at low quality. Medium and high settings usually keep images visually clean for normal web use.

Can I compress images privately?

For common browser-supported image formats, Vexifya processes compression locally in your browser whenever possible.
