Compress Images for E-Commerce
A product photo has two jobs that pull against each other: look sharp enough to sell, and stay light enough that a category page of twenty loads instantly. This page handles the second without wrecking the first, working in the browser with a reported weight per image — the figure a listing workflow actually needs before the file goes to the store.

Frequently Asked Questions About Image Compression
What size do product images need to be?
Usually two copies: something in the 1500–2000 px range to feed the zoom, and a compressed card image sized for the grid. Same product, two jobs.
Will compression turn white backgrounds grey?
JPEG encodes pure white efficiently and it holds. Check for a faint halo after heavy settings and back the quality off if you see one.
Will my original file be changed?
The result is downloaded as a separate file. Keep your original until you have checked the Storefront image.
What should I check before using the result?
Open the Storefront image in the application that consumes it and spot-check the parts that matter to you; the original file stays untouched if you need to re-run with different options.
Should product images be compressed before uploading?
Usually, a smaller copy can make catalog pages faster and easier to upload. Keep enough detail for customers to inspect the product and follow the storefront’s image rules.
Will compression remove product details?
Aggressive lossy compression can soften edges or create artifacts. Compare the preview at the size customers will see before publishing.

How to Use
- Choose one or more product images.
- Select a quality preset and keep dimensions appropriate for the storefront.
- Compress the images in the browser.
- Compare the preview and file size, then download the copies for your listing workflow.
Best Use Cases

- Catalog updates where many images need smaller upload files.
- Mobile storefronts where large product images slow browsing.
Output Format
The output format depends on the selected image workflow and source image. Preserve transparency for product graphics that need it, and check zoom detail, edges, colors, and any marketplace-specific format requirements before publishing.
Privacy
The browser processes the image locally with the existing compression scripts. Only process product photos and brand assets you own or have permission to use, and keep original masters for future catalog updates.
