There are lots of times when an Internet user wishes that the digital images they are working with were a smaller size. Just because of the size of a picture, one has to face waiting times in numerous situations. For example, if you are attaching an image with an email or uploading it on a social network, you have to wait a considerable amount of time for a large image to finish uploading.

This is a problem not only for end users but also for web developers – the larger the images on your website, the longer page loading times faced by your site visitors. Here to offer a solution to this problem is a site called CompressNow.

CompressNow is a free to use web service that lets you easily decrease the size of images in an efficient way. The site does not require you to sign up for any new accounts – you can start using it right away. All you need to do is select a digital image that is stored locally on your computer. Supported image formats include JPG, JPEG, GIF, and PNG file formats. The next step is to specify the percentage of compression.

Finally, you right click on the resulting image preview and save it as an image on your computer. The final image you save is of the same dimensions as the original image but of a lower file size.
