How can I compress image size under 100kb without losing quality
Hello everyone, My new website is currently under development, but many of the original JPEG images are over 2MB each. For better page loading speed, the goal is to reduce the file size to under 100...
Let me tell you about Photopea. It's actually a pretty clever way to compress image size on Windows 10 without installing any software at all.
The process is surprisingly straightforward. Here's how you can compress image size in just a few steps:
Step 1: Open Photopea
Step 2: Load Your Image
- Drag and drop your image directly into the browser window, or use File → Open to browse for it.
Step 3: Resize If Needed
- If your image dimensions are huge, go to Image → Image Size and scale it down. For web use, 1500 pixels wide is usually plenty. This alone can dramatically reduce your file size before you even compress it.
Step 4: Export with Compression
Here's where the magic happens. Go to File → Export As and choose your format—JPG or PNG.
- For photos: Choose JPG. A quality slider will appear. Drag it down and watch the estimated file size drop at the bottom of the window. You can preview the result in real-time to make sure it still looks good.
- For PNG images: Photopea has a built-in PNG minifier that can shrink PNG files by 50-80% using lossy compression (you can adjust the quality slider to find your sweet spot).
Step 5: Save and Done
- Hit Save, and your newly compressed image downloads to your computer.
