How Do I Compress an Image?

Can someone please help me out with the following, thank you.

How do I compress an image so it loads faster on a webpage but still keeps it size?

I have Elements 6 if thats any help.

 

I think, that you have to small file size to fastest loading pictures.

 

I'm not sure how similar to photoshop, elements is. Are you able to save for web? If so, save as a jpeg and adjust the quality settings. Reduce as much as you can before losing too much quality, that'll bring the size down and should help make it load faster.

 

Save your pictures for web in the photoshop. Choose GIF image and you will look settings for this picture to look size of the picture and to choose what you need.

 

u can try to edit the size but keep the resolution 300dpi. save as .gif file. if you save to .jpeg file u need to keep image quality 6-8 (medium). but sometimes i used Microsoft Office Picture Manager and choose Re size or Compressed button on right.

 

You can use image ready to bring the file size down but i am not sure if elements has that

 

Use Paint.NET

Best free software out there by miles.

 

This should help you

You can compress an image file without resizing with this tool.

you can use gimp or irvanview

 

you can compress the file using winzip and create a zip folder .which will serve your need.

 

photoshop is the best tool for that..

 

besides photoshop Save for web, you can try "PIXresizer" - google it to grab

 

Just resize it ... like:
<img src="IMAGE LINK" width="??" height="??">

 

double click on the image and goto 'edit pictures'. There is a option 'compress pictures' at the bottom of the page. click on that option and select the size what you want.

 

you can use photoshop and use the image quality without change the size.but the result will be blur if the file size more small

 

for me the best to change size is paint, photoschop will change size but quality will be very low

 

Hi... Is it that image on your website "Mount Everest"?
I check out already... I found that your file (adf1.jpg..., ba11.jpg...and so on) can still reduce to (adf1.gif = 111bytes, ba11.gif = 176bytes).

If you trust me... you can inform me and give me your email address... then i just send the file to you...

 

use the .PNG extextion
