Image Compressor

Compress images to reduce file size while maintaining quality

Tips & Important Information

  • 1Image compression reduces file size by removing unnecessary metadata and optimizing the image data. This makes images load faster on websites and saves storage space.
  • 2Quality slider from 1-100%: 80-90% offers the best balance between file size and visual quality. Below 70% may show visible quality loss. Above 90% offers minimal size savings.
  • 3JPEG compression is 'lossy' - some quality is lost to achieve smaller file sizes. PNG uses lossless compression but results in larger files. Choose JPEG for photos, PNG for graphics with transparency.
  • 4Compress images before uploading to websites or sending via email. A 5MB photo can often be reduced to under 500KB with minimal visible quality loss.
  • 5All compression happens in your browser using the Canvas API. Your images never leave your device or get uploaded to our servers.
