Image Compressor

Compress images up to 90% smaller — quality slider, live savings, and your photo never uploads.

About this tool

Oversized images are the number-one cause of slow websites, rejected form uploads and full storage. A phone photo is routinely 4–8 MB when 300 KB would look identical on screen. This compressor closes that gap: choose your image, drag the quality slider, and watch the file size and savings percentage update live — most photos compress 70–90% with no visible difference.

Everything happens on your device using your browser's own image encoder. That means three things competitors can't always say: there's no upload wait (compression is instant even for large photos), no file-size limits or daily quotas, and total privacy — your photos never touch a server, which matters for documents, IDs and personal pictures.

Output can be WebP (the modern format with the smallest files, supported by every current browser) or JPEG (maximum compatibility for email attachments and older systems). The 75% default quality is the sweet spot for photographs; drop toward 50% for web thumbnails where every kilobyte counts, or raise it for print-bound images. Pair it with the Image Resizer when the pixel dimensions themselves are larger than needed — resizing first, then compressing, produces the smallest possible files.

Frequently asked questions

Is my image uploaded to a server?

No. Compression runs entirely in your browser using the canvas API — the image never leaves your device. That makes this safe for private photos, scanned documents and ID images in a way upload-based compressors aren't.

What quality setting should I use?

75% is visually indistinguishable from the original for most photographs while cutting size dramatically. Use 50–65% for web thumbnails, and 85–95% only when the image will be printed or heavily edited afterward.

Should I choose WebP or JPEG?

WebP produces noticeably smaller files at the same quality and is supported by every modern browser — the right choice for websites. Choose JPEG when the file goes somewhere unpredictable: email attachments, old software, government portals.

Why did my PNG get so much smaller?

PNG is lossless and often enormous for photographs. Re-encoding a photographic PNG as WebP or JPEG routinely saves 80–95%. For graphics with sharp lines and text, though, PNG may still be the better format — compare visually.
