How to Reduce Image Size Without Losing Too Much Quality

A practical guide to shrinking image files for websites, forms and sharing.

Compress images

1. Start with the dimensions

If a photo is 4000 pixels wide but will appear at 1200 pixels on a website, resizing it first can remove unnecessary data. Use Pixora's resizer when you know the required dimensions.

2. Choose an efficient format

For many photographic images, WebP can provide a useful balance of size and quality. Keep PNG when transparency or graphic fidelity is important.

3. Compress and compare

Lower the quality gradually instead of jumping straight to the smallest setting. Pixora shows the original and processed previews so you can check the result.

4. Use a target size when necessary

If a form says an image must be below a certain KB limit, use the target-size field. It is a best-effort target because encoded file size depends on the image.
