Compressor.io is a very useful online image compressor that helps to reduce size of still gif, animated gif, jpg, png, and svg images. I have come across multiple online image compressors, like TinyPNG and PNG Minimizer, but none of them comes with feature to compress animated gif. For Svg, gif, and animated gifs, it supports lossy compression which wipes image information to compress image size. And for jpg and png images, it comes with loseless compression option.
This handy online image compressor also lets you preview the original and compressed image directly on its interface. It is almost impossible to see the difference between original and compressed image. You can download the compressed image or can also store it to your Dropbox and Google Drive account.
See the above gif that shows an animated Gif compressed by me using this worthy website.

On its homepage, first of all you need to select the mode of compression: lossy or lossless. After this, you can drag n drop any supported image on the required area.
