Image Compressor

Make JPG, PNG, and WebP files smaller by choosing a quality or a target size.

Large images slow down websites and get rejected by upload forms. Add your photos, choose a quality or a maximum file size, and compare the result with the original before you download. Compression happens on your own device, so your images are never sent anywhere.

What This Tool Does

Quality or target size
Use the quality slider or ask for a maximum size such as 200 KB.
Real PNG compression
PNG files are reduced to a smaller color palette while keeping transparency.
Before and after
Drag the slider across the image to compare it with the original.
Batch and ZIP
Compress many images at once and download them in a single ZIP.
Private
Images are processed in your browser and never leave your device.

FAQ

Are my images uploaded to a server?▾

No. The whole process runs in your browser, so your files stay on your device.

What quality should I use?▾

A quality of 70 to 80 usually gives a much smaller file with no visible difference for photos.

Why did a file not get smaller?▾

Some images are already well optimized. When the result would be larger, the tool keeps your original file and says so.

Does compression remove photo metadata?▾

Yes. Re-encoded images no longer contain EXIF data such as GPS location and camera details. The photo's orientation is preserved.

Can I compress an animated GIF?▾

Not while keeping the animation. Only the first frame of a GIF is saved.

Tips for Smaller Images

  • WebP is usually much smaller than JPG at the same visual quality.
  • Resize large photos to the size you really need before compressing.
  • Use PNG for logos and screenshots, and JPG or WebP for photos.
