Instructions for compressing images without losing quality with FileMDF

19/05/20265 minutes reading

Maintaining image quality while optimizing capacity is always a headache for Webmasters (website administrators) and Designers. FileMDF offers a completely free and safe Image Compressor solution.

1. Why compress images?

  • SEO and Page Loading Speed: Large images slow down page loading speed, causing high bounce rates and directly affecting rankings on Google.
  • Save Storage Space & Bandwidth: Server bandwidth is expensive. Reducing photo size means you retain more of your costs.

2. Modern compression algorithms

Instead of uploading files to a server (which poses a privacy risk), FileMDF uses technologies built directly into your browser (client-side) to process images. We use the modern WebP standard as default. WebP makes files on average 30% smaller than JPEG, and much smaller than PNG.

3. How to effectively compress images at FileMDF

  1. Access the Image Compression tool.
  2. Drag and drop one or more of your image files into the upload area.
  3. Adjust the Quality slider. In most cases, keeping the slider at 80% provides the perfect balance between capacity and quality.
  4. Click Compress Image and wait a few seconds! You can download individual files or download the entire compressed zip file at once.

Note: Compression is performed locally. No data is transmitted to our servers.
