Compress to 10 KB
This lesson is part of Web Developer Tools · All levels
Summary
Compression to 10 KB is a very aggressive and realistic target for tiny images like icons, emoji, or small thumbnails. The device will reduce the quality, narrow the dimensions, or both gradually to the limit. On these tight targets, small text and fine gradations are usually broken first. Choose this target only if the size limit is strict, such as an old form.
Key points
- 10 KB is only suitable for small-scale images with little detail.
- The tool usually reduces the dimension and quality.
- The smallest text, the thinnest lines, and the most easily broken gradations
- Palette PNG or low quality JPG is a common choice
- Always check the results on the actual size of the display.
