Compare candidates with the same source and destination in mind

Compression choices are easier when the candidates are generated from one original and viewed side by side. The smallest file is not automatically the best choice if text, edges or faces become visibly damaged.

Use the comparison as a decision aid, then download only the version that fits the real destination.

  • Compare at the intended display size.
  • Look at text, skin detail and gradients.
  • Keep the original master.

How to use image compression comparison

01

Choose your image

Start with the original file whenever possible.

02

Set the real goal

Use the actual quality, percentage, destination or upload rule.

The selected image is processed or inspected in your browser.

04

Review and download

Compare the measurable result and keep the original as your master copy.

Frequently asked questions

Are my images uploaded?

No. These image workflows process the selected file in your browser during the session.

Can I keep the original image?

Yes. The tools create an optimized copy; keep the original as your master file.

Why compare settings?

Different images respond differently to compression. Comparing candidates helps you choose the smallest acceptable output.

Continue your image workflow

Choose the next tool because the destination requires it, not because every image needs every optimization step.

Privacy and file quality

Keep the original image as your master copy. Compression is a trade-off between file weight, dimensions, format and visual detail. MAXScanner shows the measurable result so you can make that choice from the output rather than a marketing score.
