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

The image is re-encoded on a canvas at the quality you choose. Lower quality means a smaller file. The preview and size readout update as you adjust the slider.
JPG and WebP respond strongly to the quality slider. PNG is lossless, so it is re-encoded and may shrink modestly; convert it to JPG or WebP for bigger savings.
No. Compression runs entirely in your browser with the Canvas API.
PNG uses lossless compression, so the quality slider has little effect. For large reductions, use the format converter to switch to WebP or JPG.
Private by design

This runs entirely in your browser

No file or text you enter here is uploaded. Encoding and decoding happen on your device using native browser APIs — close the tab and nothing remains on a server.
