Why process images twice? Rune's Image Compressor lets you resize and compress simultaneously for maximum optimization.
Why Combine Resize and Compress?
Maximum Size Reduction
- Smaller dimensi pixels
- Compression = smaller per-pixel data
- Combined = dramatic reduction
Efficiency
- One upload instead of two
- One download instead of two
- Less time spent
Consistent Results
- Settings applied together
- No quality loss from multiple processing steps
How It Works
- Open Rune's Image Compressor.
- Upload your image.
- Set max width/height dimensions.
- Adjust quality percentage.
- Choose output format.
- Compress.
- Download optimized image.
Size Reduction Example
Original: 4000x3000 pixels, 5 MB
| After | Result |
|---|---|
| Resize to 1920x1440 | ~2 MB |
| Compress to 80% | ~1 MB |
| Resize + Compress | ~400 KB |
Combined gives the best result.
Recommended Settings
| Use Case | Max Dimension | Quality |
|---|---|---|
| Web hero | 1920px | 80% |
| Blog content | 1200px | 80% |
| Thumbnails | 400px | 70% |
| 1920px | 75% | |
| Social media | 1080px | 80% |
When to Use Each
- Compress only: Already correct dimensions
- Resize only: File size is fine, dimensions wrong
- Both: Maximum optimization needed
Aspect Ratio
When resizing:
- Proportions maintained
- Only max dimension constrained
- No distortion
Conclusion
Combining resize and compress produces the smallest files. Rune's Image Compressor handles both in one step.
