What Is Image Compression?

What Is JPEG image?

JPEG is worldwide standard file format that stored compressed photo. JPEG is a lossy format. As the name suggests - JPEG will lose some information from the original. When you compress photo files saved as a JPG, you traditionally choose how much quality you accept to lose and following how small you want the file to be.

Years after JPEG invention, people are struggling to create a better format that can compress the filesize as small as JPEG, but with better quality. And that's where Image Compressor comes into play.
Instead of making a new, proprietary image format, Image Compressor stores the compressed images as the same JPEG file, but is using a new method to compress them. It's called Digital Eye.

• Using Image Compressor you can compress the photos at the smallest size possible.
• Image Compressor creates worldwide JPEG standard file. You won't have to worry about compatibility.
• Image Compressor creates better image quality compared to traditional JPEG utility.
