About the Compress Image

Large image files slow websites down, fill up storage and bounce back from email. Yet most photos are far bigger than they need to be — and you can usually shrink them dramatically while keeping them looking sharp.

This Compress Image tool reduces the file size of your JPG, PNG and WebP images right in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, and you control the quality, so you get a smaller file that still looks great.

How to use the Compress Image

1. Add your image by dragging it in or clicking to browse.
2. Adjust the quality slider to balance size and clarity.
3. Watch the file size fall while the preview stays crisp.
4. Download your compressed image.

How the Compress Image works

This tool processes your pictures using the browser's built-in Canvas API and standard image codecs for JPG, PNG and WebP. Resizing, cropping, conversion and compression all happen on your own device, so the image data is never sent to a server. Compression balances file size against visual quality using established lossy and lossless techniques appropriate to each format.

Tips & best practices

• Resize the image to the dimensions you actually display before compressing — that alone slashes the file size.
• For photos, 70-80% quality is usually indistinguishable from the original at a fraction of the size.
• Try converting to WebP for even smaller files at the same quality.

Standards & accuracy

Uses the browser's native Canvas API and standard web image formats (JPG, PNG, WebP) — images are never uploaded.

For the best results, resize an image to the dimensions you actually display before compressing, and choose WebP for the web where a smaller file at the same quality is the priority.
