Image Optimization and Compression are Important, and You Know It

62% of today's Internet traffic is made up of images, including JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF and WebP formats. Optimize them with Kraken.io and save both money and time by reducing their size without sacrificing quality.

Reduce the Weight and Not the Quality

You need to be confident that the quality of the results you are getting have not been compromised for the sake of getting the smallest possible file size. While it is possible to reduce any image to a tiny fraction of its original size, that approach often leads to a serious amount of visual degradation. Kraken.io's optimization and compression pipeline offers tremendous savings for formats like JPG, PNG, WebP and GIF, with results that stand up to close inspection, each and every time.
