Compress Image
Shrink JPG, PNG and WebP photos by up to 80% with a live quality slider. Runs in your browser.
Compress images without uploading them
This tool re-encodes your pictures at a chosen quality level to make the file smaller. A typical photo at quality 0.78 comes out 50–80% smaller with almost no visible difference — ideal for email attachments, web pages, forms with size limits and freeing up phone storage.
How the quality slider works
- 0.90–1.00 — archive quality, minimal savings.
- 0.75–0.85 — the sweet spot for photos on the web; most people cannot tell the difference.
- 0.50–0.70 — small files for thumbnails, previews and chat.
- Below 0.50 — visible blocking; only for extreme size limits.
Pick the right format
- JPG in → JPG out — JPEG is already efficient for photos.
- PNG in → untick "keep original format" to convert to JPG and flatten transparency onto white; this is where the biggest savings come from.
- WebP in → WebP out — already compact, but the slider still trims bytes.
Why compress at all?
Smaller images mean faster page loads, lower bandwidth and happier visitors; for email and forms they are often the difference between "rejected" and "sent". It also saves storage on phones and cloud drives.
Batch and privacy
Drop as many files as you like (up to 30 MB each). Every file is processed locally in your browser — nothing is uploaded, stored or scanned, and there is no watermark or sign-up.

FAQ
How much smaller will my images get?
Photos typically shrink 50–80% at quality 0.78. Screenshots and PNG graphics save even more when converted to JPG.
Is there a visible quality loss?
At 0.75–0.90 the difference is hard to see at normal viewing size. Zoom in on fine text or foliage for the clearest evidence.
Can I compress many images at once?
Yes — drop a batch, every file gets its own result, size comparison and download link.
