Better still - don't post images unless they are essential. Consider posting a thumbnail with a link to a larger image. This doesn't apply to social interaction threads of course.
Even more important - please don't quote an image - we've seen it once, and that should be enough.

Hello guys!
As I see, sometimes people post images in threads and sometimes they open threads with a lot of images. As you know, it makes load time a little bit slow because images are high in size. To reduce the load time and make things more comfortable for everyone, I think it will be better if all of us compress images, this will save space and time and isn't hard.
1. For example, let's see the size of this Image 1 - Seems to be 171.8 KB. Normal but how far can we compress it?
2. First of all, compress JPG/PNG images without losing quality by using TinyJPG
As we see, we have 74% reduction in image size without losing quality and got 44.5 KB in size.
3. Can we compress it even further? Yes but for this we need to convert image into webp and compress in this format. You can't upload webp images on imgur, so have to use another image upload website.
For highest compress, we can use compress-or-die.
So, go here, click on select a file, then choose your image and upload. Then, you'll get window with settings for your image where you can change compression percentage and so on, but it automatically sets quality on 75%, so let's see the result (btw I resized the image):
I guess there shouldn't be any noticable difference on 85% compression, btw you can try it to see results yourself and do the same in future on this forum to help those who use mobile data to save network
Useful links together:
1. JPG/PNG only compression: https://tinyjpg.com/
2. Convert JPG/PNG and compresses into webp: https://compress-or-die.com/webp
3. GIF compression: https://compress-or-die.com/webp
4. Image resize: https://resizeimage.net/
Btw, good luck guys!
Will update the list in near future.
