How it works

Done in three steps.

Drop your file

Loads into browser memory. Nothing is transmitted to any server at any point.

WebAssembly runs on your CPU

Compression happens locally using the Canvas API and pngquant WASM. No network request is made for your file.

Save and done

The result saves directly to your device. Close the tab and browser memory clears completely. Nothing is stored or logged.

Why it matters

What is image compression?

A way to shrink file size by discarding redundant pixel data. A smartphone photo starting at 8 MB can compress below 400 KB with no visible difference at screen sizes, cutting load time and bandwidth in one step.

Websites and landing pages

Every extra kilobyte increases page load time. A 3 MB hero image compressed to 200 KB loads 15x faster, and Google notices. Compress every image before uploading to your CMS.

Email attachments

Gmail limits attachments to 25 MB; Outlook.com to 20 MB; many corporate mail servers to 10 MB. Compressing first makes attachments send reliably.

Social media uploads

Instagram, Facebook, and X recompress images on upload, often degrading quality. Uploading a pre-compressed image gives you control over the final output quality.

E-commerce product photos

Shopify, WooCommerce, and Amazon require fast-loading product images. Compressing photos reduces page load time, lowers bounce rate, and improves conversion.

App and game assets

Sprite sheets, backgrounds, and UI textures must be compact to minimise load time and memory usage on mobile devices.

Format guide

JPEG, PNG, WebP, SVG — which format?

The right format depends on the image type and intended use.

FormatBest forTransparencyTypical reduction
JPEGPhotos, gradients, complex imageryNo60-80%
PNGLogos, icons, screenshots, transparencyYes40-70%
WebPWeb delivery, replaces JPEG and PNGYes25-35% vs JPEG
SVGIcons, logos, diagrams (vector only)Yes10-50%

Choosing the right quality setting

Quality rangeBest forTypical reduction
85-100Print, archival, source files for future editing10-30%
75-85Web images, blog posts, social media50-75%
60-75Email attachments, preview thumbnails65-80%
Below 60Small thumbnails where size is the only priority75-90%
Privacy by architecture

Your files never leave your browser.

Most online tools upload your file to a server, process it remotely, then send it back. This tool is architecturally different. Compression runs via WebAssembly on your CPU. There is no server that receives your image. Not even temporarily.

No file data transmitted over the network at any point

No account, sign-in, or email required to use any feature

Closing the tab clears all data from browser memory completely

Common questions

Questions answered.

How much can I compress without losing quality?
JPEG and WebP at quality 75-85 typically reduce file size by 60-75% with no visible difference at screen sizes. PNG via pngquant achieves 40-70% reduction. Use the comparison slider to check before saving.
Does compressing an image reduce its pixel dimensions?
No. This tool reduces file size (bytes) only. A 4000x3000 image remains 4000x3000 after compression. To change pixel dimensions, use the Resize Image tool.
What quality setting should I use for web images?
Quality 75-85 is the standard recommendation. Files are typically 60-75% smaller than quality 100 with no visible loss at screen sizes. For email attachments, 65-75 is acceptable. For print or archival, use 90 or above.
What is the difference between lossy and lossless compression?
Lossy compression (JPEG, WebP) permanently discards some image data to achieve smaller file sizes. Lossless preserves every pixel. This compressor uses lossy methods: Canvas API for JPEG and WebP, pngquant for PNG.
Is there a file size limit?
No. There is no file size limit, the only ceiling is your device's available memory. Very large files may take a moment longer to process.
Can I compress multiple images at once?
Yes, with no batch limit. Drop as many files as you need, all processing runs locally in your browser.
Is my image uploaded to a server?
No. Everything runs in your browser using the Canvas API and pngquant WebAssembly. Your files never leave your device.
Which formats are supported?
JPEG, PNG, WebP, and SVG. PNG uses pngquant WebAssembly for palette quantisation. JPEG and WebP use the browser's native Canvas encoder. SVG strips metadata and whitespace from the XML source.
Will the compressed image look different when printed?
At quality settings above 80, the difference between original and compressed is imperceptible at typical print sizes. For large-format print such as posters or banners, use quality 90 or above.
Can I compare the original and compressed image?
Yes. Each file card shows the original and compressed sizes with the percentage reduction. Click the image preview to open the before/after comparison slider.
