There are several reasons to want to compress an image or file:

• To have more storage space: The main reason is that reducing the file size helps save storage space on your personal hard drive, server, or mobile devices that typically have limited storage.
• To save money: Storage space has a certain cost, whether for web servers or for mobile devices like tablets or smartphones where adding additional storage can be quite expensive.
• Speed up transfer and loading: Compressing your images allows for faster transfers and sharing, with smaller files requiring less time to transfer!
  • For webmasters, this means lighter web pages, leading to faster web page loading for a better user experience (yes, visitors are impatient), reducing bounce rates, and thus improving SEO!
  • For the average user, there are also benefits like faster online image sharing and uploading. The time-saving is not only noticeable during uploading but also when transferring files from one hard drive to another or to a USB drive.
• To preserve bandwidth: Webmasters can also benefit from compressing images and files by conserving bandwidth, which is also a significant and costly component in setting up and administering a web server; you'll be able to reduce the weight of web pages, allowing them to load faster!

Saving storage space and thus money, speeding up image transfers, enhancing the performance of websites and apps... there are many advantages to image compression!

The compression technique that reduces file size uses a lossy method, meaning some data is simply eliminated. How does this work?
The image is analyzed and regions with little visual detail are detected. It's these regions that will be compressed more compared to areas with a lot of details. Thanks to this, we can maintain a visually pleasing quality to the naked eye (by choosing a reasonable compression rate) while drastically reducing the size of our image. Be cautious, excessive compression can degrade image quality, making it less suitable for specific tasks like high-quality printing or photo editing.
