Optimizing a JPEG Document
Illustrator comes complete with everything you will need to properly compress any JPEG
Document. The Internet can sometimes be slow to navigate, and your visitors typically do
not have much patience. When you compress a JPEG image, you're essentially removing
information from the image to reduce its file size and speed up the loading time. The un-
fortunate result of that reduction is loss of image quality. Internet graphics are not always
the best quality; however, reducing file size is a necessary evil to keep visitors from click-
ing off your site and moving to another. To keep visitors happy, your JPEG images must
load fast, and Illustrator is just the application to help you accomplish that goal.
