# Image compression You can change the compression (output format and quality) of your image by using compression filters. You can use the compression filters alongside [image-operations](https://docs.cloudimage.io/transformations/image-operations "mention") and [image-filters](https://docs.cloudimage.io/transformations/image-filters "mention"). {% hint style="info" %} By default, Cloudimage delivers the images as WebP. If the format is not supported by the client browser, it falls back to JPEG or PNG. If you wish to keep the original format, you can use **force\_format=original**. {% endhint %} You can of course force a specific output format(s). More details can be found in the image formats section. Most of the on-the-fly image transformations can be configured using the [Asset Variation Builder](https://docs.cloudimage.io/transformations/asset-variation-builder), an in-line URL builder to preview each image transformation instantly. | ![](https://content.gitbook.com/content/IDIcmPiz7q6Sr6ZHHQxV/blobs/86HHCPHk6YGtGvwBVQXZ/image.png) |
