Web Photos Do Not Need 100% Quality
The best quality setting for JPG compression depends on your use case. For website photos, quality 75 to 85 is optimal — it typically reduces file size by 60-80% compared to quality 100 while keeping the visual difference nearly imperceptible on standard displays.
Product Photos Benefit From Higher Quality
Marketplace and e-commerce photos benefit from quality settings around 85 to 90 so the texture and detail of the product remain visible even when zoomed in.
Low Quality Has Its Place
For thumbnails, previews, or moodboard images, quality values around 50 to 60 can still look acceptable while producing very small files.
