How to compress image

  1. Drop your images inDrag them onto the page, or press Select images. You can add a whole folder at once — every file is handled separately.
  2. Pick a formatJPG opens anywhere and is the safe default. WebP makes noticeably smaller files at the same visible quality and works in every current browser. PNG keeps transparency but will usually make a photo larger, not smaller.
  3. Set the qualitySomewhere between 75 and 85 is the sweet spot for photographs — small files, no visible damage. Drag lower and you will start to see blotches around edges and in flat areas like skies.
  4. DownloadEach row shows what the file weighed before and after. Grab them one by one, or use Download all.

When you need it

A photo will not attach or upload

Email caps attachments around 25 MB; forms and portals are often far stricter — 2 MB, sometimes 500 KB. A phone photo is easily 4 MB, so compressing is usually the whole fix. For an exact ceiling, use compress to exact size.

A website is loading slowly

Images are almost always the heaviest thing on a page, and an uncompressed photo can be twenty times larger than it needs to be. WebP at quality 80 typically cuts the weight by two thirds with nothing visible lost.

You are running out of storage

A few thousand phone photos add up fast. Compressing a batch before archiving keeps the pictures and drops most of the weight — though keep originals of anything irreplaceable.

Questions

Does compressing an image reduce its quality?

With JPG and WebP, yes — a little. Both work by throwing away detail your eye is least likely to miss, so there is always a trade. In practice, quality 80 on a photograph is indistinguishable from the original at normal viewing size while being a fraction of the weight. Below about 60 you will start to notice smudging around sharp edges and banding in skies. PNG is different: it is lossless, so nothing is discarded at all, which is also why it rarely makes photos smaller.

Why did my file get bigger instead of smaller?

Two common reasons. Either the image was already compressed — running a small JPG through again gives the encoder nothing left to remove — or you chose PNG as the output. PNG stores every pixel exactly, so a photograph saved as PNG can end up several times larger than the JPG it came from. If the result grows, the percentage on the row turns red so you can see it happened.

Is there a limit on file size or how many images I can do?

No. There is no upload, so there is no server limit to run into and nothing counting your files. The only real ceiling is your own device's memory, and that only comes into play with very large batches of very large images.

Where do my photos go? Are they uploaded?

They are not uploaded anywhere. The tool runs on the HTML Canvas API inside your browser: the file is read into memory on your device, changed there, and handed straight back as a download. Nothing crosses the network — there is no server that could receive it. You can disconnect from the internet after the page loads and it still works.

Should I use JPG or WebP?

WebP if the image is for a website — it produces smaller files than JPG at matching quality and every current browser supports it. JPG if the file is going to someone else, into a form, or into older software, because JPG opens absolutely everywhere. If the image has a transparent background, neither will keep it: use PNG.

What does the max width setting do?

It shrinks the image dimensions before compressing, and it is often the bigger win of the two. A 4000-pixel-wide photo displayed in a 1000-pixel column is carrying four times more detail than anyone will ever see. Capping the width at 1920 for web use, or 1280 for something that only appears small, usually cuts more weight than the quality slider does.

Can I compress several images at once?

Yes. Select or drop as many as you like — each gets its own row and its own download button, with a Download all at the bottom. The settings apply to the whole batch, so changing quality re-runs every file.

How it works

Every tool here runs on the HTML Canvas API inside your own browser. When you drop a file, it is read straight into memory, changed there, and handed back as a download. Not one byte goes over the network — which is why there is no upload wait, no file size cap, and no way for anyone, including us, to see your images.

That also means the tools keep working with no connection once the page has loaded, and the only limit on file size is your device's memory.
