How to use Image Quality Reducer

Quality reduction creates a smaller lossy image by allowing the encoder to simplify more detail. The best value depends on the source and normal viewing size.

  1. Choose an image and select JPG or WEBP output.
  2. Lower the quality gradually instead of jumping to the minimum.
  3. Inspect detailed and high-contrast regions, then download the smallest acceptable result.

Practical example

A thumbnail can often use a lower quality setting than a full-screen portfolio image because it is displayed much smaller.

Useful tips

  • Compare at the intended display size.
  • Avoid recompressing the same lossy file repeatedly.
  • Preserve a lossless or original master.

Limitations

Lost detail cannot be restored by raising the quality of the exported file later.
