Compress WebP Images for Email

Email images must be small and universally compatible. Large images trigger spam filters, slow rendering in email clients, and create poor experiences on slow mobile connections. Modern image format developed by Google offering 25–35% smaller files than JPEG/PNG at equivalent visual quality. Use ImageSmith to compress your WebP images to the ideal file size for Email — target under 200KB for optimal performance. Processing is fully browser-based — no server uploads, no privacy risk.
