About Image Compressor

The Image Compressor reduces an image’s file size by re-encoding it at a quality you control, showing the before and after sizes as you adjust. It is for anyone trimming photos for the web, email, or upload limits without a desktop editor.

Large images slow pages and bump against upload caps. Compressing in the browser lets you find the smallest acceptable size visually, and the photo is never uploaded to a server.

How to use

Step by step

  1. Drop an image onto the tool, or click to choose one from your device.
  2. Drag the quality slider and watch the projected file size update live.
  3. Compare the preview against the original to judge where quality starts to suffer.
  4. Settle on the smallest size that still looks good.
  5. Download the compressed image.

Best practices

Tips for best results

  • For photographs, JPG or WebP at around 75–85% quality usually balances size and clarity well.
  • Compress at the final display dimensions — shrinking a huge image saves far more than quality alone.
  • Keep an untouched original; compression is lossy and cannot be fully reversed.

FAQ

Common questions

JPG and WebP images are re-encoded at the quality you choose. PNG images are reduced to an optimized color palette (transparency is kept) and saved as an indexed PNG. The preview and sizes shown are of the exact file you download.
JPG, PNG and WebP. The output keeps the original format by default; you can also switch to JPG or WebP for bigger savings on photos.
No. Compression runs entirely in your browser with the Canvas API.
Some images are already well optimized. If re-encoding in the same format would not make the file smaller, the tool keeps your original and tells you, so you never download a bigger file. Lower the quality or choose WebP for more savings.
