Squoosh

Why it’s here

Squoosh is included because the tradeoff is visible: smaller output versus lost detail. For a website image, the smallest file is useful only if the result still works at the size visitors will see.

A task to try: Compare two exports of one website image

1. Open an image and note its starting dimensions and file size.
2. Try two compression settings and inspect detailed areas.
3. Keep the smaller export that still looks acceptable at its intended display size.

Where to be careful

Inspect text, edges, and transparency as well as photographs. Preserve the original so later edits do not compound compression loss.
