Reduce comic page file size without turning line art into mush

Comic pages are the worst case for image compression. Hard ink lines, flat colour fills, and fine screentones all sit in the frequency range JPEG throws away first, so a page that looks fine at 80% quality in a photo can go patchy and soft in a panel. Meanwhile the files are big for the wrong reasons: 300-600 DPI working resolutions, unflattened adjustment layers baked into an export, and CMYK profiles that inflate every channel. Skwish compresses and resizes images locally in your browser with a side-by-side before/after readout per page, so you judge compression against the actual art instead of a quality slider number. Batch the chapter, export a ZIP. Nothing is uploaded to a server.

Comic page compression notes

Use these before you upload or share the page.

Downscale before you compress. A 300 DPI page is 3-5x the pixels a phone screen can show; resizing to the platform width removes far more bytes than aggressive quality settings.

Judge with the before/after preview on a screentone patch, not the whole page. Flat colour survives almost anything; halftone texture is where compression artifacts appear.

Flatten before exporting if you can. Layers and CMYK profiles add weight that compression has to fight, and most platforms only take 8-bit RGB JPG or PNG anyway.
