Compression is only for jpegs and has no effect on any other image format. If you want to make the resulting images smaller (and faster to download), include &format=jpg on the querystring and that will convert the output image to jpg format and then the &compression= parameter will take effect.
Do remember that lower compression values will give smaller file sizes but also lower image quality.
Compression not working for me
Hi,
I can't get compression to work. The file size does not change no matter what I set the compression parameter to. Heres a testimage of mine:

Try messing around with the compression. Nothing happens here. Am i doing i wrong?
Thanks

Using Imagegen 2.5.1 by the way.
