# Why are my Cloudinary images delivered without gzip compression (Content-Encoding)?


Cloudinary gzips only compressible formats. For certain formats like JPG and PNG, applying gzip compression is redundant and may not yield any gain. Furthermore, sometimes it may even result in larger files.

To inspect the encoding method Cloudinary uses to deliver a resource, check the Content-Encoding response header in browser developer tools.
