Frequently Asked Questions

Which image format gives the best compression?

AVIF typically offers the best compression ratios, followed by WebP and JXL. However, the "best" format depends on your specific needs including browser support, image content, and quality requirements.

How do I choose between WebP and JPEG?

WebP typically provides 25-35% better compression than JPEG with similar quality. Use WebP for modern web applications, but provide JPEG fallbacks for older browsers. Our tool helps you visualize the exact differences.

What quality setting should I use?

For web images, 75-85% quality usually provides the best balance. For print or high-quality displays, use 90-95%. Our tool lets you test different quality levels to find your optimal setting.

Can I test custom compression settings?

Yes! Adjust the quality slider to test different compression levels across all formats simultaneously. You can also zoom in to inspect compression artifacts and quality variations in detail.

Which formats should I use for web?

For web use, we recommend WebP for modern browsers with JPEG fallback for older browsers. AVIF offers even better compression but has limited support. PNG is ideal for images requiring transparency or when lossless quality is essential.
