You can see this in action on our jobs page. Reducing the detail and/or normalizing the color is a nice aesthetic style choice that significantly reduces the file size. Protip: For large image backgrounds, I’ll often blur the image a bit or add an opaque color layer over the photo. Most lossy compression tools provide a percentage slider so you can choose the balance of quality over file size. You’ll get better compression results but you’ll sacrifice image quality. Lossy means the compression algorithm will reduce the quality of your image. This involves stripping metadata from the image or anything that isn’t affecting the quality. Lossless compress means your image won’t lose any quality. Lossless and Lossy – These are compression methods. PNGs can also be optimized significantly after they come out of Photoshop or your graphics editing tool of choice. PNGs are great for things like icons and logos or anything that needs transparency. JPEGs are usually better for high-fidelity images like photos and web graphics that don’t have any transparency. For this tutorial, we’re mainly going to focus on JPEGs and PNGs as they benefit most from compression and optimization. JPEG, PNG, SVG – These are the three most popular image file types on the web. Initial Terminologyīefore we get deeper, let’s establish some common terminology. In this article, we’re going to talk about some tips and tools for compressing images for the web. I had just filmed a video tutorial about enabling and using Google’s new Guetzli algorithm in ImageOptim and I was shocked by all the other options I was previously unfamiliar with. The inspiration for this post stemmed from a very popular post in the Beaver Builders Facebook group.
Today, we’re going to talk about a subject near and dear to my heart, image compression! I’m half-kidding, but there is something oddly satisfying about shaving huge percentages off an image file size without diminishing any quality.
