How image compression works
Compression throws away detail your eyes are unlikely to notice and stores the rest more efficiently. Two settings matter most: quality (75-85 is the sweet spot for photos) and dimensions - a 4000-pixel phone photo shown 800 pixels wide on a website is carrying twenty times the pixels it needs.
This compressor keeps your original format by default. For the smallest files on a website, switch the output to WebP.
