How to Compress Images Without Noticeable Quality Loss

Lossless compression can reduce file size without discarding image data. Lossy compression removes data to make files smaller, so some quality change is possible. The useful goal for lossy formats is often to choose settings where the size savings are worthwhile and the differences are not noticeable at the intended display size.

Do not export a much larger image than the layout needs. Match pixel dimensions to the intended display size and account for high-density displays where appropriate. Oversized source assets can add bytes without improving the visible result.

Select a format that suits the image and the delivery environment. Compare quality settings rather than choosing the smallest file automatically. Photographs, gradients, icons, and transparent UI graphics can respond differently to the same compression level.

Export a few candidate settings and compare them side by side at the intended display size. Inspect text-like edges, gradients, skin tones, transparency boundaries, and repeated patterns. Keep the original source so you can make a new export later.
