Switch between compression methods

You can only switch an image's compression type if your image was compressed within the last 30 days.

Types of Compression

Conservative (Lossless)

Reduce the weight and not the quality
Every single bit of data that was originally in the file remains after file is compressed. Images will not loose any quality, they will be 100% same as original.
Expect up to 30% savings.

Balanced (Lossy)

Reduce the weight with some loss in quality.
Reduce a file by permanently eliminating certain information. You sacrifice a small amount of the image quality (usually not noticeable to the human eye) for very large compression.
Expect up to 70% savings.
