Compress Image

Reduce file size while keeping quality

Try it →

What It Does

Image compression reduces the file size of your photos by removing unnecessary data. Our tool uses browser-native canvas compression to shrink JPEG, PNG, and WebP images without visible quality loss.

Step-by-Step

Click "Choose File" or drag your image into the upload area

Adjust the Quality slider — lower = smaller file, higher = better quality

Choose output format (JPEG for photos, PNG for transparency, WebP for web)

Click "Compress" to process your image

Preview the before/after and download your compressed image

💡 Pro Tips

80% quality is usually a sweet spot for photos

Use WebP for web — it's 30% smaller than JPEG with the same quality

PNG is lossless — quality slider doesn't apply
