Can a photo be compressed without losing anything at all?

Yes, with lossless compression (lossless WebP or optimized PNG), but on camera photos it only saves a little. It shines on screenshots and graphics, at 25–40% smaller.

How much smaller does a camera photo get?

Usually 80–95% smaller: a 12 MB photo typically ends up at about 300 KB with the camera profile, with no visible difference on screen.

2The «Camera photos» profile resizes to 2560 px and tries several quality levels, keeping the highest one that fits in about 300 KB: at screen size it looks the same as the original.
3If you don’t want to lose a single pixel, use «Screenshots» (lossless WebP) or «High-quality archive» (high-quality AVIF at full resolution).
