Web Compression Tips
Target: Under 100 KB
Google recommends keeping images under 100 KB for optimal page speed. Hero images can be up to 200 KB, but content images should be as small as possible.
Choose the Right Format
Use JPEG for photos (70-80% quality), PNG for graphics with transparency, and WebP for the best of both worlds. Our converter can help you switch formats too.
Resize Before Compressing
Don't serve a 4000px image in a 800px container. Resize images to their display dimensions first, then compress. This gives the biggest file size savings.
100% Private Compression
Unlike online compressors that upload your images to their servers, PhotoFormatLab processes everything locally in your browser. Your files are never transmitted anywhere — they stay on your device.
Safe for personal photos, business documents, and confidential images.
