Direct answer

Choose a supported image in Image Compressor and wait for the preview. Select “Compress and download” to create the output.

Key takeaways

  • Quality 75 is a starting point, not a promise of a specific percentage reduction.
  • Photographs often compress differently from logos, screenshots and transparent artwork.
  • Keep the original until you have checked the downloaded result.

Common mistakes

  • The interface exposes a quality slider; it does not offer a target-size-in-KB field.
  • Repeated lossy encoding can introduce artifacts.
  • A quality slider is not a substitute for choosing suitable pixel dimensions.
