The next step is to choose our loading format.

Click on the "Format" tab. There, you will see two choices, "Standard" and "Progressive".


Progressive allows your visitors to see the image load gradually. Standard waits till the entire image is loaded and then, shows it all at once. You can choose whichever you like.

Personally, I find "Progressive" annoying, so I usually choose "Standard".

Click on the "Download Times" tab.


This will show you how fast (or slow) your image will load at various modem speeds.

Some people are still using 28k modems. So, your goal would be to make the image load as fast as possible and still look great for 28k users.

You will need to make the decisions about  quality vs. speed. Each image will be different.

When you are happy with your compression, click "OK". Now you will need to save it.
