How to compress an image
- Add your images — JPG, PNG or WebP. You can compress several at once.
- Drag the quality slider until the file size and look are right.
- Download your smaller images — saved straight to your device.
Why compress images?
Large photos slow down websites, fill up storage and are hard to email or upload. Compressing keeps the picture looking sharp while cutting the file size — often by 70% or more.

Frequently asked questions
Will compressing lower the image quality?
You control it with the quality slider. At 70 to 85% most photos look identical but are far smaller.
What is the best format to compress to?
JPG for photos, WebP for the smallest size, and PNG when you need transparency.
Can I compress many images at once?
Yes. Add a batch and download them together as a ZIP.
Are my images uploaded anywhere?
No. Compression happens in your browser — your files never leave your device.
Is there a file size limit?
No hard limit — it depends on your device memory. Very large images just take a moment longer.
