Do those optimizer sites compress files as well as reduce them in size?

You can often compress a file to half the kbs it uses and lose just a little quality.

I can post examples if anyone is interested.

They do not reduce dimensions..but you can reduce bytes dramatically without losing quality.
I can take a 500,000 byte picture to 60,000 bytes.
It is more difficult to retain quality with layered graphics using this ..some work some don’t
300,000 bytes or less

over 300,000 bytes
JPG links only..no animations

I’m still playing with these sites.

Meg has used them for awhile. I practiced on a couple of graphics and they worked mostly very well. On one, I could not get it to reduce; it was huge to begin with.

If you would like to post a couple of examples, that would be great.

Thank you. I want the Amy’s Place experience to be a good one for everbody.

PS: On the one prior to reducing, please don’t use one with 400,000 bytes. * smile *
