When uploading an image to a website, sharing it by email or sending it to a contact, it may have a very high weight. However, there are quite a few tools to compress images and reduce the weight of the file in question. This way, you will use less bandwidth and they will load faster.
This type of tool is one of the most common on the Internet, but so that you do not have to upload your images to unreliable websites, we have made a selection of some of the best
ILoveIMG
With this free online tool you can upload multiple JPG, PNG or GIF images and compress them in seconds for free. You can easily compress them with just a few clicks and choose whether to upload them by hand or drag them.
In addition, you have the option of being able to upload images directly from some of the most popular cloud services, such as Dropbox or Google Drive.
TinyPNG
Don’t be fooled by the name of this online tool, which is used to reduce the file size of your WebP, JPEG and PNG files . It uses smart lossy compression techniques to reduce file size by selectively decreasing the number of colors in the image, so fewer bytes are required to store the data. The effect is almost invisible, but it makes a big difference to file size.
One of the peculiarities of TinyPNG is that you can compress 20 images at a time and, when you download them, a compressed zip file will be created that contains all of them with their reduced size.
Optimize
This online image optimizer uses a smart combination of the best lossy compression and optimization algorithms to reduce JPEG, GIF and PNG images to the smallest possible size while maintaining the required quality level.
You can upload up to 20 images, wait for the compression to finish and simply click on the thumbnails in the queue for quality settings. With the slider you can control the compression level and the mouse or gestures (depending on whether you use PC or mobile) are used to compare images and see that you are not losing more quality than you should.
ezGIF
This is one of the most useful web pages for all kinds of image related features. Not only to create animated images in GIF format or convert from one extension to another, but also has optimization tools for various image formats.
You can upload an image in WebP, JPG, PNG or even an animated GIF format to reduce its size. The only limitation is that the original file does not exceed 50 MB in size. The rest is a simple process in which you upload the image in question or paste a URL address and then choose if you want to do any retouching before compression, such as cropping, resizing, rotating, inverting, adding text or censoring a part.
