Compress Image
Updated on:Compress images online for free. Reduce JPG, PNG and WEBP file size while maintaining quality.
How it works
1. Upload image. 2. Adjust quality. 3. Choose format. 4. Click Compress. 5. Download.
When to use it
Image compression is essential in numerous situations:
- Websites: reduce image weight to speed up page loading and improve Core Web Vitals.
- Email: compress photos and screenshots before sending via email, avoiding attachment size limits.
- Social media: optimize images for Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn while respecting upload limits.
- E-commerce: compress product photos for fast online catalogs without losing visual quality.
- Cloud storage: save space on Google Drive, Dropbox or OneDrive by compressing photos before upload.
Advantages
Fast compression. Adjustable quality. Supports JPG, PNG, WEBP. No data stored.
Benefits vs alternatives
Compared to Photoshop, TinyPNG and other compressors:
- No software to install: everything happens in the browser, unlike Photoshop which requires a subscription.
- Adjustable quality: choose the exact compression level you prefer, from minimum to maximum.
- Multi-format: supports JPG, PNG and WEBP in one tool, unlike TinyPNG which only handles PNG/JPEG.
- No daily limit: TinyPNG limits to 20 free images per day. Our tool has no limits.
- Privacy: images are processed and deleted immediately, never saved on our servers.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Over-compression: reducing quality too much produces visible artifacts (banding, blocks, blur). For public images, don't go below 60% JPEG quality.
- PNG vs JPEG: compressing a PNG with few colors (logo, icon) to JPEG introduces artifacts. Use PNG for graphics with sharp edges and flat colors.
- Original dimensions: compressing a 4000×3000 px image to use at 400×300 px is inefficient. Resize first, then compress.
- EXIF metadata: compression can remove EXIF metadata (date, GPS location, camera). If you need them, check in the result.

Our image compression tool allows you to reduce the size of photos and images while maintaining excellent visual quality. It supports the most commonly used formats such as JPG, PNG and WEBP, and is ideal for optimizing images for websites, social media, email and storage.
Why Compress Images?
Uncompressed images can take up a lot of space and slow down web page loading. Compression reduces file weight without significantly sacrificing visual quality. This improves loading times, reduces bandwidth consumption and improves the site's SEO ranking.
How It Works
The process is simple: upload the image, adjust the quality level with the slider (from 1 to 100), choose the output format and click Compress. The result shows the original size, compressed size and the percentage saved.
Supported Formats
- JPEG/JPG: Ideal for photographs with efficient lossy compression
- PNG: Lossless compression for graphics with transparency
- WEBP: Modern Google format with superior compression
Practical Uses
- Image optimization for websites and e-commerce
- Size reduction for email sending
- Photo preparation for social media
- Cloud storage space saving
- Web page loading speed improvement
Adjustable Quality
The quality slider lets you find the perfect balance between file size and visual quality. A value of 75-80% usually offers an excellent compromise with significant weight reduction without visible loss of detail.
