You can compress any size of an image\u00a0with WPCompress. I have tried up to <\/span><b>15 MB image\u00a0<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and it worked like a charm. It can compress\u00a0<strong>JPG<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>GIF<\/strong>, and\u00a0<strong>PNG<\/strong> files. If you use any other format, it would be automatically excluded.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"eckosc eckosc_full_width_block\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wpcompress.com\/?utm_source=WPCouple&amp;utm_medium=Partner\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4108 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/thedevcouple.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Compressing-Images-with-WPCompress-.jpg\" alt=\"Compressing images with WPCompress\" width=\"1440\" height=\"811\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thedevcouple.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Compressing-Images-with-WPCompress-.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/thedevcouple.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Compressing-Images-with-WPCompress--300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thedevcouple.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Compressing-Images-with-WPCompress--768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thedevcouple.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Compressing-Images-with-WPCompress--1024x577.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thedevcouple.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Compressing-Images-with-WPCompress--1240x698.jpg 1240w, https:\/\/thedevcouple.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Compressing-Images-with-WPCompress--860x484.jpg 860w, https:\/\/thedevcouple.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Compressing-Images-with-WPCompress--680x383.jpg 680w, https:\/\/thedevcouple.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Compressing-Images-with-WPCompress--500x282.jpg 500w, https:\/\/thedevcouple.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Compressing-Images-with-WPCompress--400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/thedevcouple.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Compressing-Images-with-WPCompress--250x141.jpg 250w, https:\/\/thedevcouple.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Compressing-Images-with-WPCompress--200x113.jpg 200w, https:\/\/thedevcouple.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Compressing-Images-with-WPCompress--100x56.jpg 100w, https:\/\/thedevcouple.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Compressing-Images-with-WPCompress--76x43.jpg 76w, https:\/\/thedevcouple.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Compressing-Images-with-WPCompress--50x28.jpg 50w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2192 Auto Resize Large Images<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If you want to automatically resize images above a particular size, you can set a threshold value for that.

To do so, go to\u00a0<strong>Media &gt; Bulk Compress<\/strong> in your WordPress dashboard. Click on the\u00a0<strong>Compress<\/strong> button to start compressing images. While it compresses, you can do other tasks, just don&#8217;t close the tab.<\/p>\n<div class=\"eckosc eckosc_full_width_block\"><\/div>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\ud83d\udcc8\u00a0Compression Results<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To check out the compression results, I turned on the <em>Intelligent mode<\/em> and tested the plugin on different image sizes. For\u00a0<\/span><b>small images<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the <\/span><b>response was pretty quick <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and the <\/span><b>difference was<\/b> <b>negligible<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. So, I went ahead and tried on large sized images. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I tested the plugin on a <\/span><b>15.11 MB <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">sized image, it was reduced to <\/span><b>278 KB<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> only. It was mind blowning compression. It resized the image to <\/span><b>2048 pixels <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">wide because I had put a resize limit. Apart from that, the entire optimization procedure was handled by <a href=\"https:\/\/wpcompress.com\/?utm_source=WPCouple&amp;utm_medium=Partner\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">WPCompress<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Visually there was no major difference in the two images. Only they differ in size and the compressed image was <\/span><b>little less crisp<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. But the difference in size was massive.
