About the Image Compressor
Large image files can slow down websites, take up valuable storage space and make sharing photos more difficult. This Image Compressor reduces the file size of JPG, PNG and WebP images while maintaining the best possible image quality. Whether you're optimising images for the web, email or storage, you can compress them in just a few clicks.
Why Compress Images?
Image file size directly affects how fast your website loads. Google uses page speed as a ranking factor, meaning large uncompressed images can hurt your search rankings. For everyday use, compressed images take up less storage, load faster in messaging apps and stay within email attachment limits. A smartphone photo typically ranges from 3MB to 8MB. Compressed correctly, the same image can be reduced to under 500KB with no visible difference.
How To Use the Image Compressor

- Higher quality preserves more detail but produces a larger file

Frequently Asked Questions
Will compressing reduce my image dimensions?
No. The compressor only reduces file size by adjusting quality and encoding. Your pixel dimensions stay exactly the same.
How much can I compress without losing quality?
For most JPG images a quality setting of 70 to 85 percent produces results visually identical to the original while reducing file size by 50 to 80 percent.
Are my images uploaded to a server?
No. All compression runs entirely in your browser. Your images are never sent to any server and never stored outside your device.
Can I compress multiple images at once?
Yes. Use the Bulk Image Compressor to compress multiple images in a single batch and download them all together.
