How to use the image compressor

  1. 1

    Choose a JPEG, PNG, or WebP image up to 15 MB and 40 megapixels.

  2. 2

    Select JPEG or WebP, adjust quality, and optionally reduce the maximum width.

  3. 3

    Generate a preview, compare the size with the original, and download the result.

Quality and file size are a tradeoff

Lower quality settings can reduce the file size but may create visible artifacts around fine details. Inspect faces, gradients, and small text in the output preview. The right setting depends on the image and where it will appear.

Reduce dimensions when the original is oversized

A large photo may contain more pixels than a particular placement needs. Reducing its width can save more space than changing quality alone. This tool preserves the aspect ratio and never enlarges the source.

Check the result rather than a promised percentage

Some images are already efficiently compressed and may become larger when re-encoded. The tool shows the actual before-and-after sizes. Keep the original when the export does not improve the result you need.

Frequently asked questions

Are photos uploaded?

No. Compression happens locally in the browser.

Can I guarantee a file below a certain size?

No. Quality and dimensions affect size differently for each image. Adjust the settings and compare the generated file size.

Does JPEG keep transparency?

No. Transparent areas are filled with the selected background. Use WebP when you need transparency.

Is metadata preserved?

Canvas exports do not preserve the original EXIF metadata. Keep the source file if you need its camera or location metadata.
