Image Compressor

Reduce image file size with an adjustable quality setting.

Compress Images Online

Reduce the file size of your photos without uploading them anywhere. Choose an image, adjust the quality, and download a smaller version. The tool re-encodes the image in your browser using the quality you pick, so you can balance size against appearance and see the savings before you download.

How compression works

Photos are compressed by lowering the quality setting slightly, which removes detail the eye barely notices while cutting the file size significantly. A small reduction in quality often shrinks a photo by half or more, which is ideal for websites, email and faster uploads.

When to compress

  • Websites — smaller images load faster and improve Core Web Vitals.
  • Email and forms — fit attachments under size limits.
  • Storage — keep more photos in less space.

Private and free

Your images are processed on your device and never uploaded. The compressed file is saved as a JPEG, which is best for photographs. There are no watermarks and no sign up.

Frequently asked questions

Does compressing reduce image quality?

Slightly. Lowering the quality setting removes detail most people do not notice while greatly reducing file size. You can preview the result before downloading.

Are my images uploaded to a server?

No. Compression happens entirely in your browser, so your images stay on your device.

What format is the compressed image?

The output is a JPEG, which gives the best compression for photographs. Note that JPEG does not support transparency.

How much smaller will my image be?

It depends on the image and the quality you choose, but photos often shrink by half or more with little visible change.
