How much will I save by compressing my images?

While there is no definitive and exact figure for how much data you will save by optimizing your images using Lossy or Lossless compression, the following examples should serve as a good guide.

To test out the kind of results that could be achieved, the same image was compressed using both the Lossy and Lossless method. The results are as follows:

With Lossy compression enabled, the sample image was compressed from 230.26 KB to 64.92 KB, giving an almost 75% reduction in size.

With Lossless compression enabled, the sample image was compressed from 230.26 KB to 172.18 KB, giving just over 25% reduction in size.
