A three-step Image Compressor checklist
- Before: Keep the source file and open it once to confirm that it is not damaged.
- During: Review every setting shown for Image Compressor instead of accepting a value you do not understand.
- After: Do not delete your original until you have opened the result and checked it against the notes above.
Image Compressor tip: Compare file size with visible quality. A smaller download is useful only when the destination can open it and the important detail still holds up.
Before using Image Compressor for important work, browse all file tools, read the file-format guide, or review how temporary uploads are protected.
How long the result stays available
