Image Compression
When you compress a digital file, you remove bits of information in order to reduce its overall size. There are two types of compression: lossless, which reduces the file size without reducing quality, and lossy, which reduces the size and quality.
Because of the nature of JPEG files, only lossy compression is possible with these kinds of images. However, you can control how much compression the image receives to find a comfortable balance between file size and image quality.
Why would you want to compress an image?
Images can get pretty big. A high-resolution photograph from an expensive camera, for example, could be huge. This will cause the photo to take up a lot of space on your hard drive. Compression, in this case, could be a useful tool to reduce the size of that photo so you don't need to delete it.
Images on smartphones, especially, are good candidates for compression. Most smartphone cameras output images in JPEG format. If you have a lot of high-quality photos on your phone's internal storage, they could be taking up a lot of room. Compressing those files could be the difference between needing to delete/backup some photos or keeping them right where they are.
