How To Reduce The File Size Of A Jpeg

Smart WebP, PNG and JPEG compression

More than 1 billion WebP, PNG and JPEG images optimized and yet counting!

What does TinyPNG do?

TinyPNG uses smart lossy compression techniques to reduce the file size of your WEBP, JPEG and PNG files. By selectively decreasing the number of colors in the prototype, fewer bytes are required to shop the data. The upshot is nearly invisible but it makes a very large difference in file size!

Why should I use TinyPNG?

PNG is useful because it's the only widely supported format that can store partially transparent images. The format uses compression, but the files can notwithstanding be large. Employ TinyPNG to shrink images for your apps and sites. It will use less bandwidth and load faster.

Can anyone tell the deviation?

Fantabulous question! Let me give you a adjacent comparing. Below are two photos of my cousin. The left image is saved as 24-bit PNG directly from Adobe Photoshop. On the correct is the same epitome candy by TinyPNG. Spot any divergence?

How does it work?

Excellent question! When you upload a PNG (Portable Network Graphics) file, similar colors in your epitome are combined. This technique is called "quantization". By reducing the number of colors, 24-bit PNG files can be converted to much smaller 8-bit indexed color images. All unnecessary metadata is stripped too. The result better PNG files with 100% support for transparency. Have your cake and eat information technology too!

In the above paradigm the file size is reduced by more than 70%. I accept first-class eyesight but tin't spot the deviation either! Use the optimized epitome to salve bandwidth and loading fourth dimension and your website visitors will cheers.

Is it supported everywhere?

Excellent question! The files produced by TinyPNG are displayed perfectly on all modern browsers including mobile devices. Still need to support Cyberspace Explorer 6? It commonly ignores PNG transparency and displays a solid background colour. With TinyPNG the groundwork becomes transparent again. Binary transparency without any workarounds!

Is information technology safe to employ animated PNG?

Excellent question! Chrome, Firefox and Safari all support APNG. Only Microsoft Edge does not back up the format yet. If you accept an Edge browser you can vote up APNG support on the Microsoft Developer Feedback site.

Apple added animated stickers to iMessage with the release of iOS 10. If you want to create and compress stickers under 500 KB take a await at the iMessage Panda sticker example on Github.

What well-nigh Photoshop?

Excellent question! Only Photoshop CC 2015 or newer can save images as indexed PNG files with alpha transparency. With other versions information technology is impossible and Photoshop CS5 cannot even display them properly.

Yous tin use Relieve for Web to export your images every bit 24-bit transparent PNG files and upload them to TinyPNG. We'll convert them to tiny indexed PNG files. You can besides install the TinyPNG Photoshop plugin. It allows you to scale, preview and salve compressed PNG and JPEG images straight from Photoshop.
