What is image compression and why should I use imgmin?

Compressing images reduces the file size of an image while preserving the dimensions and as much of the quality as possible. It is helpful for saving storage space and reduces bandwidth demands making websites load faster, this in turn uses less energy and is good for the environment (although it does take a small amount of energy to compress images locally). With imgmin the compression process is fast, free, and private since it all happens on your computer and nothings is uploaded to external servers.

imgmin is fast, has no file limits, and works 100% locally keeping your images private. It also supports all of the major image formats and has options above to allow converting images to different formats, resizing them to create thumbnails and make image sizes more web friendly, or tweaking the output quality. Additionally imgmin works offline without needing to be connected to the internet and the page loads really quickly.
