What quality setting should I use?

For most photos, a quality of 60-80 provides a good balance between file size and visual quality. Below 40 you may notice visible artifacts. The optimal value depends on the image content and your size target.

Should I choose JPEG or WebP?

WebP typically produces smaller files at the same visual quality compared to JPEG. However, JPEG has broader compatibility with older software. Choose WebP for web use and JPEG for maximum compatibility.

Does compression change the image dimensions?

No. The image width and height remain exactly the same. Only the encoding quality (and therefore file size) changes. For resizing, use the Image Resizer tool.
