Many people know that there is a limit on the image uploaded size in WordPress. For uploading easily and displaying pictures smoothly, it is very important to compress large-capacity images without destroying too much quality.
Today I want to recommend today is such a basic free online compression tool website: TinyPNG.
It is the website link: https://tinypng.com/
How to use
The use method is very easy, you can drag the picture you want to compress to the part of the screen enclosed by the dotted line, or click the center button to select the picture to upload.
However, there are the following restrictions:
- Only 20 images can be compressed at a time
- An image can only be up to 5MB
If you want to compress more pictures in one go and limit the size the pictures to a large size, you need to pay for Pro version.
But the free version are already very useful.
In addition to the web version, there are also plugins for Photoshop and WordPress that can be used. If there is a need for these two tools and platforms, you may also consider using them directly.
