Click to upload or drag and drop your image file. Supported formats include JPEG, PNG, and WebP.
Select compression quality level. Higher quality means larger files but better image appearance. Lower quality means smaller files but may reduce image clarity.
Fine-tune compression settings like maximum file size, image dimensions, or format conversion options.
Click compress to process your image. The tool will show before/after file sizes and compression ratio.
Review the compressed image to ensure quality meets your requirements. Compare with the original.
Download the compressed image file. The original file remains unchanged on your device.
Upload multiple images to compress them all at once, saving time for bulk operations.
Use compressed images on your website, in emails, or for storage to improve performance and save space.
Some quality loss is normal with compression, but modern algorithms minimize visible differences. You can adjust quality settings to balance file size and appearance.
Common formats include JPEG, PNG, WebP, and GIF. JPEG is best for photos, PNG for graphics with transparency, and WebP for modern web use.
Compression depends on image content and format. Photos can often be compressed 50-80% with minimal quality loss. Graphics may compress less effectively.
Yes, all compression happens entirely in your browser. Your images never leave your device or are sent to any server.
Yes, you can upload and compress multiple images at once. This is useful for batch processing large numbers of images.
Lossy compression (JPEG) reduces file size by removing some image data, causing quality loss. Lossless compression (PNG) reduces size without quality loss but achieves less compression.
Yes, compressed images load faster, use less bandwidth, and improve user experience. Most websites recommend optimizing images before upload.
Yes, PNG format supports transparency and can be compressed losslessly. WebP also supports transparency with better compression than PNG.
For web use, aim for under 200KB for most images, under 100KB for thumbnails. For print, higher quality (larger files) may be needed.
Compression typically doesn't change dimensions, but you can resize images separately. Resizing before compression can further reduce file size.
