Optimize a JPEG

PEG is the standard format for compressing photographs.

  • Open an image and choose File > Save For Web.
  • Choose JPEG from the optimization format menu.
  • Specify the compression level:Choose  quality option medium from the pop‑up menu under the optimization format menu. The higher the Quality setting, the more detail is preserved in the optimized image, but the larger the file size.
  • View the optimized image at several quality settings to determine the best balance between quality and file size.
  • Select Progressive to display the image progressively in a web browser; that is, to display it first at a low resolution, and then at progressively higher resolutions as downloading proceeds.
  • To save your optimized image, click OK. In the Save Optimized As dialog box, type a filename, and click Save.
