How to use Image Compressor

  1. Drop or choose an image file.
  2. Pick an output format (JPEG or WebP for adjustable compression, PNG for lossless) and adjust the quality slider.
  3. Compare the original and compressed file size, then download the result.

About this tool

The Image Compressor re-encodes an image at a lower quality setting to reduce its file size, using your browser's built-in Canvas API — the same underlying technology browsers use to display images, applied here to re-compress them. Choose JPEG or WebP for adjustable lossy compression, or keep PNG for lossless output. The image never leaves your device: everything happens locally in your browser, which also makes this fast even for large files.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my image uploaded anywhere?

No — compression happens entirely in your browser using the Canvas API. The image file never leaves your device or gets sent to a server.

Why doesn't the quality slider do anything for PNG?

PNG is a lossless format — it doesn't have a quality setting the way JPEG and WebP do. To reduce a PNG's file size further, try converting it to JPEG or WebP instead (note this means it will no longer support transparency).

JPEG or WebP — which should I choose?

WebP generally produces smaller files than JPEG at similar visual quality and is supported by all modern browsers, so it's a good default. Choose JPEG if you specifically need maximum compatibility with older software or platforms that don't support WebP.
