← Back to BlogCompression reduces a file’s storage cost by removing unnecessary or imperceptible image data, often through mathematical algorithms. Resizing changes pixel dimensions, adjusting how large an image appears on screen. Both are needed: resizing for layout and device fit, compression for speedy delivery. Best practice: always resize to display dimensions first, then apply appropriate level of compression for optimal speed and clarity.
