About the Image Compressor
Large images are the number one reason websites load slowly. The Image Compressor shrinks your photos by re-encoding them with an adjustable quality level, often cutting file size by 60–90% with little visible difference. You can see the new size, the percentage saved and a live preview as you move the slider.
Choose WEBP for the smallest files supported by all modern browsers, or JPG for maximum compatibility. Setting a maximum width also downsizes huge camera photos, which is the most effective way to reduce file size. Compressed images improve Core Web Vitals, save mobile data, make email attachments lighter and help you meet upload size limits such as "under 100 KB" on application forms.
How to use the Image Compressor
- Upload, drop or paste the image you want to compress.
- Adjust the quality slider; around 70–80% is a great balance.
- Optionally choose WEBP and set a maximum width for even smaller files.
- Compare the sizes and download the compressed image.
Frequently asked questions
What quality setting should I use?
For photos, 70–80% usually looks identical to the original while being much smaller. Go lower for thumbnails or when you must meet a strict size limit.
Why is my PNG not getting much smaller?
PNG is lossless. This tool converts to JPG or WEBP, which compress photos much better. For logos with transparency, use WEBP to keep the transparent background.
Is there a file size limit?
No upload limit exists because nothing is uploaded, but very large images depend on your device memory.
