How do I change the compression used on an uploaded image?

When uploading images you will choose an Image Compression method. Image compression reduces the final image file size, generally without any visible loss of image quality.  You may want to choose a different compression method after the upload, for example you notice some image quality issues after the compression. 

To change the image compression method on an uploaded image, do the following:-

  1. First tap or click  Media from the menu;

  2. Then, tap or click the image or you want to adjust;
  3. Finally, under Image Tools, tap or click one of the following options:-
    • Reprocess image with No compression - this will remove the compression applied to the image and will lead to a larger file size when compared to other compression methods;
    • Reprocess image with Low compression - this will apply a lower level of compression and will lead to a slightly larger file size when compared to Standard compression;
    • Reprocess image with Standard compression - this is the default option, and is generally recommended for good on page SEO.

Note

If you have previously run one of the Enhancement options, changed the Crop Style, or applied a Watermark under Image Tools those tools will need to be run again following the compression. Running the Compression tool multiple times will not compound the effect, as the compression will recreate the images using the master image file that you originally uploaded.
