About the image compressor
This free online image compressor shrinks the file size of a JPG, PNG or WebP photo in seconds, without the visible quality loss you'd expect from a basic re-save. It's built for the everyday moments a photo is simply too large: a product shot that's slowing down your store, a screenshot too big for a support ticket, a portfolio image blowing past a CMS upload limit, or a batch of photos eating into your email attachment quota.
Compressing images isn't just about saving disk space — it's one of the highest-impact things you can do for page load speed and Core Web Vitals. Large, uncompressed photos are the single biggest reason websites feel slow, and search engines factor page speed into ranking. Running every image through a compressor before you upload it is a simple habit that pays off in faster pages, lower bandwidth costs, and a better experience for visitors on mobile data.
Unlike the AI-powered tools on this site, compression runs entirely in your browser using the HTML canvas API — your photo is re-encoded locally and is never uploaded to a server. As you drag the quality slider, the tool re-compresses instantly and updates a live before/after preview along with the exact file size and percentage saved, so you can find the sweet spot between size and visual quality in real time, before you commit to a download.
You're also not locked into your original file type. Switch the output to JPG for the smallest file on ordinary photos, keep PNG when you need transparency or sharp flat-color graphics, or pick WebP — a modern format that typically produces noticeably smaller files than JPG at the same visual quality and is supported by every current browser. Because nothing ever leaves your device, it's also the safest way to compress sensitive or private photos: there's no upload, no queue and no server-side copy to worry about.
Key features
- Live before/after preview and exact file-size readout as you drag the quality slider
- Switch output between JPG, PNG and WebP to find the smallest format for your image
- Quality presets (smallest file, balanced, high quality) for a fast starting point
- 100% client-side — instant results with no upload wait
Common use cases

Compress product photos, blog images and banners before upload to cut page weight and improve load speed and Core Web Vitals.
Email & form limits
Shrink a photo below a strict attachment or upload cap without switching to a different app.
Portfolios & galleries

Privacy & security
Compression runs entirely in your browser using the HTML canvas API — your photo is never uploaded to a server, which makes it safe for private or unpublished images too.
FAQ
- Is my photo uploaded to a server?
- No. Compression happens locally in your browser using the canvas API, so the file never leaves your device — it's safe for private or sensitive photos too.
- Which output format gives the smallest file?
- WebP usually compresses smaller than JPG at the same visual quality and supports transparency; JPG is the safest universal choice for photos; PNG stays lossless but produces the largest files.
- Will compressing make my photo look worse?
- At quality settings above roughly 60-70%, most photos show no visible difference. The live before/after preview lets you check before you download, so you never have to guess.
- Is there a limit on how many images I can compress?
- No sign-up, no daily limit and no watermark — compress as many images as you need, one at a time, for free.
