Compressing images has a ton of benefits, especially if you work with photos or graphics a lot. Here’s why I always compress my images:
- Faster Sharing: Smaller files are quicker to email or upload—like sharing photos on social media.
- Save Space: Compressed images take up less storage on your device or cloud.
- Better Website Performance: If you run a blog or website, smaller images load faster, improving user experience.
