Should I resize an image before compressing it?
When the source dimensions are much larger than the final display size, resizing first can remove unnecessary data and make the later compression step more effective.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does more compression always mean a smaller and better result?
More compression usually reduces size, but quality can fall quickly after a certain point. The useful goal is the smallest file that still looks correct for its purpose.
What is the difference between lossy and lossless compression?
Lossless compression preserves the original image data. Lossy compression removes some information to achieve a smaller file and may introduce visible differences.
Why can two images with the same dimensions have very different file sizes?
Image content, format, metadata, color information, and compression settings all affect the final size.
