You can reduce the file size by compressing an image without changing the physical dimensions, but the overall quality of the image goes down.

And how would we compress an image? I'm at 500 messages!

The avatar images are compressed automatically, that's why they appear blurry

Right, by reducing the resolution.
I've used Photoshop and now Photoshop Elements for years to reduce file size of images for online use, saving higher res files for printing.....automatic MO from my dial-up days, and now why waste band width<shrugs>

The file size of an image can be reduced through compression without changing the physical dimensions of the image, for example a jpeg takes up less space than a png.

We need to compress the avatar images to ensure that the site load quickly.
