Batch Compression Workflows That Save Time

Batch compression removes repetitive clicks and helps teams stay consistent. Start by defining a preset: target width, format (JPEG/WebP/PNG), and a quality range appropriate to your content. For photographs at typical social sizes, a JPEG quality of 70–80 is often indistinguishable from 90+ at a fraction of the file size.

Use a tool that lets you drag in multiple files, shows size deltas, and provides a single Download All action. As a final check, keep an eye on edges, gradients, and skin tones—these areas reveal over‑compression first. When in doubt, nudge quality up a couple of points on your preset and re‑run the batch. Over time, iterate on presets so the process becomes nearly hands‑off.
