What is Image Compressor?
An image compressor reduces file size by adjusting quality, dimensions or encoding while keeping the image usable.
Main use case: Compress images before uploading them to a website, sending by email or creating lighter documents.
Common use cases
- Website performance
- Prepare lighter visuals for faster pages.
- Email attachments
- Reduce file size before sending images.

Common mistakes
- Confusing valid format with real-world validity

- Using real production data
- Public utilities are best for test data, demos, fixtures, QA and quick checks, not for confidential values.
